As gravitational wave detectors become increasingly sensitive, the number of observed sources continues to rise. Unlocking the full scientific potential of these detections depends on robust and efficient data analysis, making gravitational wave data analysis a rapidly evolving and essential field. In this talk, we introduce the core principles of gravitational wave data analysis, emphasizing...
The impetus for wide-field searches for counterparts of explosive transients including binary neutron-star mergers, supernovae, and tidal disruption events has never been higher. The ongoing operations with the LIGO-Virgo network of gravitational wave detectors in the 4th observing period continues to offer challenges for optical observers, primarily due to the poor (~100 deg^2) localisation...
