Abstract :
The theoretical work at the interface between analytical
and numerical-relativity has played
a crucial role in
the recent discovery of GW150914 by (i) assessing
high detection
confidence of the first
gravitational-wave passing through the Earth, (ii) unveiling the
properties of the binary
black-hole merger and (iii) providing us with the most convincing
evidence to date that
black holes in our Universe are the objects predicted by Einstein’s
theory of General
Relativity.
In this talk I will review the recent discovery and
the theoretical work that has paved the way
to observe GW150914.
I will then discuss the next theoretical challenges to take full
advantage of upcoming
gravitational-wave observations. (host: S.Rosswog)
