Excellent- More about Physics of Gravitational Waves: Sources and Detection Methods
A concise introduction to the physics of gravitational waves is provided, aimed at graduate-level students and PhD scholars. Gravitational waves have been detected from various transient events and sources, and LISA will be sensitive to much lower-range frequencies. This book discusses the gravitational wave background produced by these sources and how they provide a testing tool for theories of gravity.

Gravitational waves, the ripples in spacetime caused by the acceleration of massive objects, have revolutionized our understanding of the universe since their discovery in 2016. These waves, with frequencies ranging from a few hundred hertz to around a kilohertz, have been detected from various transient events, including merging stellar-mass black holes and binary neutron stars. LIGO and LISA, advanced gravitational wave instruments, have opened up a new window to observe these cosmic phenomena.
In addition to these cataclysmic burst events, there are countless sources of radiation that continuously emit gravitational waves of all frequencies. These sources include compact binary and isolated compact objects, as well as close planetary stellar entities. This book delves into the gravitational wave background produced by these sources over a Hubble time, as well as the fluctuations in the h values measured in standard devices. It also explores the high-frequency thermal background gravitational radiation from hot stellar interiors and newly formed compact objects.
Furthermore, this book serves as a valuable tool for testing various theories of gravity, including general relativity and extended theories of gravity. Gravitational waves provide a unique way to validate these theories and will ultimately serve as the definitive test for general relativity.
As our knowledge of gravitational waves continues to expand, we anticipate further discoveries and breakthroughs that will deepen our understanding of the cosmos and its fundamental laws. Gravitational wave astronomy is an exciting field with immense potential for future research and discovery.
