Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2017 This course explores the new field of Gravitational Wave Astrophysics from the low frequencies (in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background) to the high frequencies that LIGO has discovered. In between, there is pulsar timing as a gravitational wave detector, and the planned space-based detector LISA. We will discuss how these different detectors will work together to explore the relatively unexplored gravitational wave universe. You will learn some of the basics of general relativity. ; Crosslisted: PHYS.; Pre-requisite(s): PHY213 and PHY214 or permission of the instructor.
