'The content of the SaulsonaEURO (TM)s book remains valid and
offers a versatile introduction to gravitational wave astronomy.
The book is appropriate for undergraduate students and can be read
by graduate students and researchers who want to be involved in
either the theoretical or the experimental traits of the study of
gravitational waves.'Contemporary PhysicsLIGO's recent discovery of
gravitational waves was headline news around the world. Many people
will want to understand more about what a gravitational wave is,
how LIGO works, and how LIGO functions as a detector of
gravitational waves.This book aims to communicate the basic logic
of interferometric gravitational wave detectors to students who are
new to the field. It assumes that the reader has a basic knowledge
of physics, but no special familiarity with gravitational waves,
with general relativity, or with the special techniques of
experimental physics. All of the necessary ideas are developed in
the book.The first edition was published in 1994. Since the book is
aimed at explaining the physical ideas behind the design of LIGO,
it stands the test of time. For the second edition, an Epilogue has
been added; it brings the treatment of technical details up to
date, and provides references that would allow a student to become
proficient with today's designs.
