Exploring the Gravitational Wave Universe with the Einstein Telescope and LISA — •Katharina-Sophie Isleif1, the ET Collaboration2, the LISA Consortium3, and the LVK Collaboration4 — 1Helmut Schmidt University, Hamburg, Germany — 2https://www.et-gw.eu — 3https://www.elisascience.org — 4https://www.ligo.org
The detection of gravitational waves has started a new era in astronomy and our understanding of the universe. Since the first detection in 2015, the ground-based detectors LIGO and Virgo have captured more than 100 gravitational wave signals from merging black holes and neutron stars within the audible frequency range. This talk will delve into the next phase in gravitational wave astronomy, focusing on expanding into the low-frequency domain inaccessible with current detectors. We will examine the opportunities afforded by next-generation detectors like the Einstein Telescope, designed to observe gravitational wave signals below 10 Hz, and the space-based LISA mission, which aims to reach the millihertz range. We will discuss how low-frequency gravitational wave detectors unveil cosmic events that promise novel insights into our universe and how they can advance multi-messenger astronomy by acting as early-warning systems for astronomical events. Navigating this low-frequency frontier poses unique challenges for detector design on ground and in space. This talk will also provide a brief overview of some of the technological advancements being developed to mitigate unique noise sources, underlining their crucial role in the successful realization of low-frequency gravitational wave astronomy.
