Source modelling at the dawn of gravitational-wave astronomy
The age of gravitational-wave astronomy has begun. Gravitational waves are propagating spacetime perturbations ($\textit{“ripples in the fabric of space-time”}$) predicted by Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. These signals propagate at the speed of light and are generated by powerful …
