This week we will have Niu Rui (牛睿) to present his recent work, at 7PM Dec. 10 (Tuesday) in the 19th-floor Observatory Hall.

Title: Bayesian inference in gravitational wave detection

Abstract: Since the third observing run of LIGO/Virgo began, 38 candidate events have been published so far. The GW detection is becoming routine and the new era of GW astronomy is coming. One of basic issues in GW astronomy is how to extract physical information from GW signals. Bayesian inference is a powerful tool that allow us to estimate parameters based on data. In this talk, introductions to GW detection and Bayesian inference will be presented. And a instance which constrained the mass of graviton using GW data will be discussed.

You are welcome to join the discussion. We will provide snacks and drinks.
