Description
Within a decade, since the landmark discovery in 2015, the gravitational wave astronomy has rapidly evolved, with approximately 390+ compact binary merger events having been observed, predominantly involving black holes. The talk will provide key highlights of the gravitational wave transients and future projections of gravitational wave astronomy in the era with the LIGO-India detector. It will highlight prospects of collaboration between Indian and Italian gravitational wave astronomers in the gravitational wave transient astronomy.
