Talk preview

What to expect

Gravitational-wave detections become more informative when we study them as a population. This talk preview looks at how the masses and other properties of merging black holes and neutron stars can reveal how compact binaries form, how massive stars evolve, and what growing gravitational-wave catalogues can tell us about cosmology.

About Amanda Farah

Amanda Farah is a CITA Postdoctoral Fellow working in gravitational-wave astrophysics. Her research uses populations of compact-object mergers to study binary formation, stellar evolution, cosmology and gravitational lensing, using statistical inference to connect individual detections with the broader astrophysical population.
