Talk preview
What to expect
Gravitational waves are not only a way to detect compact-object mergers: they are probes of gravity, astrophysics and cosmology. This talk preview highlights how observations can test gravitational dynamics, reveal merger environments, trace compact-object populations and use gravitational-wave sources to map the large-scale Universe.
