Gravitational wave astronomy with LIGO and similar detectors in the next decade

David M. Shoemaker

Abstract

We describe the plans for gravitational-wave observations and astrophysics that will be carried out in the next decade using data from the LIGO Observatories in the US and sister facilities abroad. We provide an overview of gravitational wave signal types that we are targeting, and the role of gravitational waves in multi-messenger astronomy.
