Description
I will summarize the LIGO-Virgo observations to date and aspects of the progress made in characterizing neutron stars and probing the demography
of stellar-mass black holes in binary systems.
How these detections are being employed, sometimes in association with
electromagnetic observations, to understand gravity and the cosmos will also be discussed.
