| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1611 This course will explore the creation and detection of gravitational waves (GWs) across the spectrum, from the speculative universe-sized GWs that may someday be detected from the epoch of inflation, to the kHz waves that LIGO did indeed detect last year! In the course you will investigate theoretical, observational, and computational aspects of GWs across the spectrum, culminating in a final investigative project of your own choosing.; Prerequisite(s): ASTR 205 and ASTR 206; Enrollment Limit: 30 Natural Science (NA) |
