Taula de continguts:
- 1. Introduction to General Theory of Relativity: The book will start with a basic introduction to Einstein's theory of general relativity (GR), history, and the background leading to understanding gravitational waves (GW)
- 2. Gravitational waves: sources and production mechanisms: This chapter will look at the sources that produce GW and its physics
- 3. Transient sources of GW: This chapter will deal will the transient sources of GW, such as those emitted by binary neutron stars or black hole mergers
- 4. Continous GW: This chapter will look at the various continuous GW emitters, including thermal GWs
- 5. Primordial and background GW: The release of GW from the early universe and the background of such GW will be discussed here
- 6. Testing General Theory of Relativity using GW: We will look at how GR can be tested using GW detectors: Current detectors (LIGO/Virgo) and planned future ones (eLISA) will be discussed in this chapter
- 7. Future scope and conclusion: To conclude, we will discuss the future scope of GW astronomy and how it has changed our understanding of the dynamics and evolution of the universe.
