Boston: The MIT Press, 2017. — 785 p. — ISBN 978-026-2036-184 Scientists have been trying to confirm the existence of gravitational waves for fifty years. Then, in September 2015, came a "very interesting event" (as the cautious subject line in a physicist's email read) that proved to be the first detection of gravitational waves. In Gravity's Kiss, Harry Collins―who has been...
Icon Books Ltd, 2018. — 122 p. — (Series: Hot Science). — ISBN 13 9781785783210. On 14 September 2015, after 50 years of searching, gravitational waves were detected for the first time and astronomy changed for ever. Until then, investigation of the universe had depended on electromagnetic radiation: visible light, radio, X-rays and the rest. But gravitational waves- ripples in...
Springer, 2022. — 1895 p. — ISBN-13: 978-9811643057. This handbook provides an updated comprehensive description of gravitational wave astronomy. In the first part, it reviews gravitational wave experiments, from ground and space based laser interferometers to pulsar timing arrays and indirect detection from the cosmic microwave background.
Springer, 2021. — 422 p. — ISBN 978-3-030-74206-5. The birth of a completely new branch of observational astronomy is a rare and exciting occurrence. For a long time, our theories about gravitational waves―proposed by Albert Einstein and others more than a hundred years ago―could never be fully proven, since we lacked the proper technology to do it. That all changed when, on...
