0:astrophysical Sources of Gravitational Waves

• Coalescence of binary black holes .

  • Expected to be detected first. Detection will be enhanced by the presence of accurate predictions of waveforms to provide templates as well as a means of data analysis.

• Coalescence of binary neutron stars.

• Supernovae.

• Other sources (stochastic background radiation).
