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. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aPhysics$2bicssc 610 $aLIGO 610 $aVirgo 610 $aKAGRA 610 $agravitational waves 610 $adetector characterization 610 $adata quality 610 $anoise mitigation 610 $aseismic noise 610 $aNewtonian noise 610 $aseismic isolation system 610 $anoise subtraction 610 $aDECIGO 610 $athermal noise 610 $aquantum noise 610 $adiffraction loss 610 $ainterferometers 610 $aground based gravitational-wave detector 610 $aAdvanced Virgo 610 $agravitational-wave backgrounds 610 $astochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds 610 $astochastic searches of gravitational waves 610 $agravitational-wave laser interferometers 610 $apulsar timing arrays 610 $agravitational wave detectors 610 $aoptomechanics 610 $alow-noise high-power laser interferometry 610 $acalibration 610 $ainterferometer 610 $agravitational wave 610 $aastrophysics 610 $alaser metrology 610 $asqueezed states 610 $aquantum optics 610 $agravitational wave detector 610 $alaser interferometer 610 $acryogenics 610 $aunderground 610 $aeinstein telescope 610 $anewtonian noise 610 $acoating noise 610 $asilicon 610 $asuspensions 610 $apayload 610 $acryostat 610 $acore-collapse supernova 610 $afuture detectors 610 $acontinuous gravitational waves 610 $aneutron stars 610 $adark matter 610 $agravitational-wave astrophysics 610 $astars 610 $ablack holes 610 $astellar evolution 610 $abinary stars 610 $astellar dynamics 610 $alaser interferometers 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aPhysics 700 $aVajente$b Gabriele$4edt$01319290 702 $aVajente$b Gabriele$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910619468803321 996 $aPresent and Future of Gravitational Wave Astronomy$93033704 997 $aUNINA
