More than five years later, many more gravitational wave signals have been detected, including the first binary neutron star coalescence in coincidence with a gamma ray burst and a kilonova observation. The field of gravitational wave astronomy is rapidly evolving, making it difficult to keep up with the pace of new detector designs, discoveries, and astrophysical results. This Special Issue is, therefore, intended as a review of the current status and future directions of the field from the perspective of detector technology, data analysis, and the astrophysical implications of these discoveries. Rather than presenting new results, the articles collected in this issue will serve as a reference and an introduction to the field. This Special Issue will include reviews of the basic properties of gravitational wave signals; the detectors that are currently operating and the main sources of noise that limit their sensitivity; planned upgrades of the detectors in the short and long term; spaceborne detectors; a data analysis of the gravitational wave detector output focusing on the main classes of detected and expected signals; and implications of the current and future discoveries on our understanding of astrophysics and cosmology.Research & information: generalbicsscPhysicsbicsscLIGOVirgoKAGRAgravitational wavesdetector characterizationdata qualitynoise mitigationseismic noiseNewtonian noiseseismic isolation systemnoise subtractionDECIGOthermal noisequantum noisediffraction lossinterferometersground based gravitational-wave detectorAdvanced Virgogravitational-wave backgroundsstochastic gravitational-wave backgroundsstochastic searches of gravitational wavesgravitational-wave laser interferometerspulsar timing arraysgravitational wave detectorsoptomechanicslow-noise high-power laser interferometrycalibrationinterferometergravitational waveastrophysicslaser metrologysqueezed statesquantum opticsgravitational wave detectorlaser interferometercryogenicsundergroundeinstein telescopenewtonian noisecoating noisesiliconsuspensionspayloadcryostatcore-collapse supernovafuture detectorscontinuous gravitational wavesneutron starsdark mattergravitational-wave astrophysicsstarsblack holesstellar evolutionbinary starsstellar dynamicslaser interferometersResearch & information: generalPhysicsVajente Gabrieleedt1319290Vajente GabrieleothBOOK9910619468803321Present and Future of Gravitational Wave Astronomy3033704UNINA
