Astronomy from Space
Gravitational Wave Astronomy

The Gravitational Wave Astronomy team, led by Professor Linqing Wen, is probing our Universe using the emerging astronomical messenger of gravitational waves (GW). They transfer signal-processing technologies developed for ground-based gravitational wave detectors to observations from space, as well as combine gravitational wave and electromagnetic (EM) information for breakthrough science and for a better understanding of our astrophysical Universe.

Their strengths include:

• Methods and strategies to detect gravitational waves (GWs) from space;
• Studies of GW sources suitable for joint space-ground detections;
• Joint GW-EM coincidence detection and astrophysical implications; and
• Cosmology using GW signals detected from space and the ground.
