Binary systems composed of neutron stars and black holes lighter than 100solar masses are among the most promising sources of gravitational waves (GWs)forexisting (Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, KAGRA), planned (INDIGO) and proposed(Cosmic Explorer, Einstein Telescope) ground-based interferometric detectors.Moreover, during the coming decade the space-based LISA mission is expectedto obse…
Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy is emerging rapidly as a young, yetmature science, which will providehundreds (tens of thousand) detection of binary mergers via second (third)generation observatories, the latter being operational in the next decade.It is then natural to investigate the new lines of researchthat are made possible by folding the gravitational information into the one obta…
Gravitational waves are propagating ripples in space-time geometry, pro-duced by the accelerated motion of massive astrophysical objects or by cos-mological sources, and they have been first observed by the Advanced LaserInterferometer Gravitational Observatory (LIGO) in September 2015, whenthe signal from coalescing black holes have been detected, confirming thepredictions of General Rel…

This plan of activities includes some lines of investigation aimed at studying amplitudesscattering in several cases of interest. More specifically, this plan has as general objectives thestudy of scattering amplitudes in gauge and gravitation theories, seeking to concentratein the calculation of classical observables, as well as the analysis of inflationary correlators andunitarity in co…
The gravitational wave astronomy era will start in a few years time, with the most likely candidate source for repeated detection being coalescing binaries made of compact objects like neutron stars and stellar mass black holes. However, for earth-based detectors like LIGO and Virgo the signals are buried deeply within the instrumental noise, thus a detailed knowledge of the signal itself…

Albeit a young science, gravitational-wave astronomy has sparked a major revolution in physics. As the 4th observation run of LIGO and Virgo is presently ongoing, research in this field could not be more timely. Detections rely crucially on accurate description of the emitted waves, which in turn depend on the intricate dynamics of their progenitors. This creates high demand for more powe…
Gravitational waves allows the determination of the luinosity distance of the source, together with the redshift they can be applied to cosmology to reconstruct the cosmic expansion history. as it remarkably happened with the multi-messenger event GW170817. The student will simulate $O(100)$ gravitationaldetections of compact binary inspirals with electromagnetic counterparts to check how…
The recent detections of gravitational waves by the interferometersLIGO and Virgo not only enabled the beginning of a new science,gravitational wave astronomy, but also spurred theoretical investigation to deepen the understanding of two-body gravitational dynamics.In particular, applying the powerful tools of effective field theoryto classical gravitational scattering has been useful in …

Gravitational-wave astronomy is a young science, and yet its advent is quickly moving towards precision astrophysics. Due to the employment of a technique called matched filtering, detections rely crucially on previous knowledge of the waveform, which in turn is determined by detailed knowledge of the source dynamics. So far no deviation from general relativity has been observed, and as o…
Gravitational waves (GWs) allow the investigation of the Universe at large scales through a new channel of observations. They are at the same time distance indicators and tracers of the underlying matter field. It has been demonstrated in recent literature that the use of standard sirens as new standard candles and in combination with various cosmological probes is a very promising strate…
