Abstract

A handful of binary-black-hole mergers have been discovered via gravitational waves by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration since 2015. They also detected gravitational waves from binary neutron stars, GW170817. This merger event was associated also with various electromagnetic counterparts, namely a gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A and a kilonova/macronova AT 2017gfo. Their observations improved our understanding of compact objects, supranuclear density matter, nucleosynthesis of heavy elements, violent explosions in our universe, cosmic expansion, the theory of gravitation, etc. In this talk, I will review what we have learned from these multi-messenger observations and discuss future prospects of ground-based and space-borne gravitational-wave detectors.
