T01.00001: Hunting for Continuous Gravitational Waves: Recent Searches and Astrophysical Implications Invited Speaker: Ling Sun In recent years, direct observations of transient gravitational waves from catastrophic collisions of black holes and neutron stars have opened a new window to the extreme universe. Meantime, the hunt for other sources and types of gravitational waves, like the much fainter continuous gravitational radiation emitted by non-axisymmetric spinning neutron stars or ultralight-boson clouds around black holes, has also been going on. This talk will present the searches for continuous waves in the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Virgo and discuss the resulting astrophysical implications. |

T01.00002: Gravitational Waves from Compact Binaries in LIGO and Virgo's Third Observing Run Invited Speaker: Aaron Zimmerman The third gravitational wave catalog of the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA collaborations contains 90 gravitational wave candidates, as well as a large number of subthreshold candidates. This catalog is the culmination of the first six years of gravitational wave detections by these collaborations, and the signals contained in it have advanced our understanding of black holes, the nuclear equation of state, and stellar evolution. Observations of compact binaries with gravitational waves have provided new tests of fundamental physics and new cosmological probes. In this talk, I will review these observations and what they have taught us, focusing on recent discoveries from the third observing run such as the detections of neutron star-black hole binaries. |

T01.00003: Richard A. Isaacson Award in Gravitational-Wave Science: Gravitational Wave Detectors in the Next Decade Invited Speaker: Peter K Fritschel Over the last half a dozen years we have gone from seeing our very first, yet still remarkable detection of gravitational waves, to now having detected gravitational waves from close to one hundred binary coalescence events. But what will the next decade of gravitational wave detectors and observations bring? In this talk I will discuss detector improvements that are being planned for the next several years, preview several interesting options for the detectors beyond that, and survey the science that might come from their observations. |
