Physics, astrophysics and cosmology with gravitational waves
BS Sathyaprakash, BF Schutz - Living reviews in relativity, 2009 - Springer
Gravitational wave detectors are already operating at interesting sensitivity levels, and they
have an upgrade path that should result in secure detections by 2014. We review the …
