Description
Gravitational waves allow us to probe the interiors of both cold and hot neutron stars where potentially exotic states of matter exist. I will review current efforts to observe gravitational waves from merging neutron stars by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaborations. I will also provide an overview of what this field holds in the next decade with current gravitational-wave observatories, and what is being forecast for the next-generation of observatories slated for operation in the 2030s.
