A Bad Honnef physics school on physics and astrophysics of gravitational waves will be held from 08 to 13 September 2019 at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef. The School is a theoretical school which teaches the physics and astrophysics of gravitational waves in view of full-fledged applications. Basic knowledge of general relativity and relativistic astrophysics on the level of a Bachelor curriculum is expected. Discussion and exercise sessions will allow the participants to deepen their understanding of the lectures. Advanced participants are invited to present posters or to give short talks.
LECTURES/LECTURERS:
* Theory of gravitational waves (Luc Blanchet, CNRS, Sorbonne Universite’, Paris)
* Stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds (Valerie Domcke, DESY, Hamburg)
* Gravitational wave detection (Gabriela Gonzalez, Louisiana State University)
