Explore gravitational wave sources and detectors in this comprehensive graduate-level lecture from the Warsaw4PhD and GeoPlanet PhD schools. Delve into the quadrupole formula and its applications, followed by an analysis of the total power output of gravitational wave sources. Examine various sources of gravitational waves and gain insights into the detectors used to observe them. Conclude with an introduction to the Schwarzschild metric, including its derivation and significance in general relativity. Benefit from the expertise of lecturer Mikołaj Korzyński from the Center for Theoretical Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, as he guides you through these advanced topics in gravitational physics.
