What is Gravitational-wave Physics and Astronomy : an Introduction to Theory, Experiment and Data Analysis about?

This most up-to-date, one-stop reference combines coverage of both theory and observational techniques, with introductory sections to bring all readers up to the same level. Written by outstanding researchers directly involved with the scientific program of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), the book begins with a brief review of general relativity before going on to describe the physics of gravitational waves and the astrophysical sources of gravitational radiation. Further sections cover gravitational wave detectors, data analysis, and the outlook of gravitational wave astronomy and astrophysics.Content: Chapter 1 Prologue (pages 3–9): Chapter 2 A Brief Review of General Relativity (pages 11–47): Chapter 3 Gravitational Waves (pages 49–95): Chapter 4 Beyond the Newtonian Limit (pages 97–147): Chapter 5 Sources of Gravitational Radiation (pages 149–196): Chapter 6 Gravitational?Wave Detectors (pages 197–267): Chapter 7 Gravitational?Wave Data Analysis (pages 269–347): Chapter 8 Epilogue: Gravitational?Wave Astronomy and Astrophysics (pages 349–353):
