A Brief Introduction to Gravitational Waves

Date:

How can we use gravitational waves to answer questions about the cosmos?

In this public talk for Astronomy on Tap SLC, I explore the basics of gravitational wave astronomy, including how we detect these systems and what they tell us about the systems that generate them. I discuss the basics of gravitational wave cosmology and discuss some of the critical results.

Embedded below are the slides from the talk. Unfortunately, there is no video of the talk being delivered.
