SUMMARY:Cosmology with gravitational waves - Nicola Tamanini (CEA Saclay)
DTSTART:20160523T120000Z
DTEND:20160523T130000Z
UID:TALK66309@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Tommaso Giannantonio
DESCRIPTION:After a short review on the current status of gravitational wa
 ve observations\, I will consider the interesting applications of gravitat
 ional wave astronomy to cosmology\, focusing in particular on the possible
  outcomes of the eLISA mission. I will briefly discuss what kind of high-e
 nergy physics will be possible to probe with eLISA at early-times. I will 
 then explain the concept of standard sirens and how these can be employed 
 to probe the late-time expansion of the universe. Finally\, considering re
 alistically simulated astrophysical data\, I will present eLISA forecast c
 onstraints on both standard and alternative cosmological models and compar
 e them with current observations.
