Explore the emerging field of decihertz gravitational wave astronomy in this 28-minute conference talk delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Learn about gravitational wave detection and analysis in the decihertz frequency range, which represents a crucial gap between current ground-based detectors and space-based missions. Discover the unique astrophysical sources accessible in this frequency band, including intermediate-mass black hole mergers, white dwarf binaries, and the early inspiral phases of stellar-mass compact object coalescences. Understand the technological challenges and proposed solutions for decihertz gravitational wave detection, including space-based interferometry concepts and advanced data analysis techniques. Examine how decihertz observations will complement existing gravitational wave astronomy efforts and provide new insights into fundamental physics, cosmology, and astrophysical phenomena. Gain insights into the future landscape of multi-band gravitational wave astronomy and its potential for revolutionary discoveries in our understanding of the universe.
