The Astrophysics of Gravitational Wave Sources
Summer 2005 and 2006
The basics of gravitational radiation, and the properties of some
possible sources. This sequence was one of four involved in the
2005 and 2006 summer schools in gravitational radiation run by the University
of Texas at Brownsville and held on South Padre Island, TX. In 2005
the other instructors were Peter Saulson (instrumentation), Miguel
Alcubierre (numerical relativity), and Curt Cutler (data analysis).
In 2006, Joe Romano is giving a one-week tutorial on general
relativity prior to the main school, as well as doing the data
analysis section.
