Description

In this talk I will describe how binary pulsars, the Earth-Moon system and Earth-satellites system may by used as resonant absorbers of GWs in from microHz to miliHz. Current data may already provide the best constraints in this range. Quite remarkably, future data (that requires replacing the mirrors used for laser ranging at the Moon’s surface) may reach levels very relevant for the nHz detection or other signals. I’ll finish by mentioning other more futuristic ideas to tests GWs in this band
