Abstract:

With nearly a hundred confident detections over three observing runs, we are well into the era of gravitational wave astronomy. As the upcoming observing run (scheduled to begin in spring 2023) approaches, we are poised to make even more detections of gravitational waves from black holes and neutron stars merging far beyond our galaxy. In this talk, I will provide an overview of gravitational waves and then discuss current techniques for detecting gravitational wave events from compact binary coalescences that will be used by the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA detectors in the next observing run.
