Gravitational Wave Astrophysics, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2015 Proceedings of the Third Session of the Sant Cugat Forum on Astrophysics Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings Series, Vol. 40

This book offers review chapters written by invited speakers of the 3rd Session of the Sant Cugat Forum on Astrophysics - Gravitational Waves Astrophysics. All chapters have been peer reviewed. The book goes beyond normal conference proceedings in that it provides a wide panorama of the astrophysics of gravitational waves and serves as a reference work for researchers in the field.

From the Contents: Astrophysics of Extreme and Intermediate mass-ratio inspirals.- The PSR J0348+0432 system and its impact for Gravitational Wave Astrophysics.- Tidal Disruptions in Extreme and Intermediate mass-ratio inspirals.- Event Rates of Compact Binaries for advanced ground-based GW detectors and related astrophysics.- Astrophysics with 2nd generation Gravitational-Wave detectors.

Carlos F. Sopuerta is working at the Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC-IEEC), Barcelona, as a Ramón y Cajal Researcher. His main research interest lies in the new area of Gravitational Wave Astronomy.
