Title: Low-Frequency Gravitational Wave Telescopes

Speaker: Dr. Latham Boyle, Perimeter Institute

Institute: Perimeter Institute

Location: ABB 102

Description:

The gravitational waves sought by LIGO represent the high-frequency tip of the expected astrophysical gravitational wave spectrum. Many of the most interesting gravitational wave signals will be at much lower frequencies. I will explain several ideas related to the design and scientific application of lower frequency gravitational wave telescopes.
