Gravitational waves were predicted 100 years ago by Einstein as
part of his general theory of relativity. This volume contains the
exciting results presented at IAU Symposium 338, following the
announcement of the first results of the observation of the
collision of neutron stars by the LIGO and Virgo Advanced
detectors, and follow-up observations by many ground-based and
space telescopes. These observations provided an incredible context
for the talks, posters and discussions at the meeting, fostering
new interactions and collaborations between physicists and
astronomers in an exciting new era of multimessenger astrophysics.
For the first time, space-time messengers (gravitational waves) and
electromagnetic ones (visible, infrared and ultraviolet light,
x-rays, gamma-rays, radio waves) can be correlated, to increase our
understanding of binary systems of compact objects, rotating or
exploding stars and other astrophysical phenomena. A new window has
opened through which we can view the cosmos.
