چکیده
The properties of potential gravitational wave sources like neutron stars, black holes and binary systems are reviewed, as well as the different contributions (stochastic and continuous) to the gravitational wave background. The detectability of these sources by the present generation of laser beam interferometers, which will be fully operational around 2002, is also considered.

Gravitational Waves from a Cosmological Distribution of Sources
The advent of gravitational wave detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and the Advanced-Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory will make it possible to observe many gravitational wave emission phenomena that may or may not have electromagnetic counterparts. In many cases, gravitational waves serve as probes of length and time scales that range many orders of magn...
متن کاملThe Detection of Gravitational Waves with LIGO
Gravitational wave emission is expected to arise from a variety of astrophysical phenomena. A new generation of detectors with sensitivity consistent with expectation from such sources is being developed. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), one of these ambitious undertakings, is being developed by a Caltech-MIT collaboration. It consists of two widely separated inte...
متن کاملMapping the gravitational wave background
The gravitational wave sky is expected to have isolated bright sources superimposed on a diffuse gravitational wave background. The background radiation has two components: a confusion limited background from unresolved astrophysical sources; and a cosmological component formed during the birth of the universe. A map of the gravitational wave background can be made by sweeping a gravitational w...
متن کاملPolarized Gravitational Waves from Gamma-Ray Bursts
Significant gravitational wave emission is expected from gamma-ray bursts arising from compact stellar mergers, and possibly also from bursts associated with fast-rotating massive stellar core collapses. These models have in common a high angular rotation rate, and observations provide evidence for jet collimation of the photon emission, with properties depending on the polar angle. Here we con...
متن کاملRadio Follow-up of Gravitational-wave Triggers during Advanced Ligo O1
We present radio follow-up observations carried out with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array during the first observing run (O1) of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). A total of three gravitational wave triggers were followed up during the ≈ 4 months of O1, from September 2015 to January 2016. Two of these triggers, GW150914 and GW151226, are binary black h...
