Description
Solving for exact and analytical solutions in general relativity to extract gravitational waves is a challenging task and for most of the known astrophysical systems it is not realised. In addition to this the understanding of gravitational waves transient universe is in early stages and hence searching for all possible transient events in all sky direction and with gravitational waveform of all morphologies is an important and necessary task. In this talk I will provide discuss the methodologies which are in place for detecting gravitational waves transients without any assumptions on their morphology, sky direction, time of arrival or polarisation. I will also give an update of the current results obtained with the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detectors.
