    The band 0.1-10Hz is just between the frequency regimes probed by the
    ground-based detectors (LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA,..) and the proposed space
    detectors (LISA, TianQin, Taiji). I briefly introduce the Japanese
    plan DECIGO targeting this band and then discuss its targets,
    including primordial stochastic background and compact
    binaries.

    The first direct detections of gravitational waves by the LIGO and VIRGO collaborations have opened up new avenues to explore the Universe. Currently operating and planned gravitational wave detectors mostly focus on the frequency range below 10 kHz, where signatures from known astrophysical sources are expected to be discovered. However, based on what happens with the electromagnetic...

    Low-frequency gravitational waves cannot be detected with ground-based detectors.
    While GW observations at frequencies in the micro- to mHz regime are planned with
    spaced-based detectors, even lower frequencies, such as at nHz frequencies, can be
    detected with pulsar timing arrays (PTAs). The talk summarises the PTA experiments,
    describes the current status and prospects, and also...

    Advanced LIGO and Virgo have detected dozens of gravitational waves, emitted from binary neutron stars and binary black holes. Third-generation observatories - such as Cosmic Explorer and the Einstein Telescope - will provide a significant boost in sensitivity and detect thousands of binary mergers per month, both from the local universe and from cosmological distances. In this talk I will...

    Observations of the temperature anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation have been key to our understanding of the early universe. The cosmic microwave background also contains invaluable information about the early universe that can be revealed through precision observations of the polarization anisotropies. Perhaps most strikingly, measurements of the polarization...
