The unprecedented observation of a binary neutron star coalescence by the Advanced Virgo and Advanced LIGO gravitational-wave detectors offers the opportunity to cast new light on neutron stars and matter under the most extreme conditions. Furthemore, for the first time we were able to observe the engine that powers events such as gamma ray bursts.
After such a merger, a compact remnant is...

Continuous gravitational waves and stochastic background searches are among the main targets of present and future gravitational wave searches. These sources have not been detected so far, anyhow important progresses have been made in the development of search procedures and significant constraints on source characteristics have, in some cases, been put. I will highlight the most recent...

In this talk we review why the measurement of the stochastic gravitational wave background can shed light on the particle content of the Universe. We moreover sketch some popular particle physics theories for which LISA can prove the existence of new physics before colliders.

The gravitational wave (GW) signal (GW170817) from the coalescence of binary neutron stars was simultaneously seen throughout the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum from radio waves to gamma-rays. We point out that this simultaneous detection rules out a class of modified gravity theories, and provides another indirect evidence for the existence dark matter.

During the second science run(O2) of the Laser Interferometer gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo Interferometer, a gravitational-wave signal consistent with a binary neutron star coalescence(BNS) was detected on 2017 August 17th (GW170817), quickly followed by a coincident short gamma-ray burst(GRB170817a) trigger by the Fermi satellite. 10 hours later, 6 groups independently...
