AMALDI RESEARCH CENTER SEMINAR

Title: Gravitational waves from the black hole binaries of the Universe
Speaker: Prof.ssa Monica Colpi

Abstract:
The detection of a gravitational wave from GW150914 forever changed the 
role of gravity in our exploration of the Universe. In the future, 
ground and  space based interferometers will immensely improve our 
knowledge of the  Universe and in particular of black holes as 
astrophysical objects at the extremes.  I will discuss the potential  
link existing between stellar and massive black holes that multi-band 
gravitational wave observations will unveil. With LISA, the first  
interferometer in space and with third generation of ground experiments  
we will be able to pierce deep into the distant  Universe to discover 
the first black  hole binaries forming during cosmic dawn, and to learn 
on how massive black holes  evolve via accretion and mergers across all 
cosmic epochs.
