Description

The discovery of gravitational waves  from black hole and neutron star mergers has made a tremendous impact to contemporary astrophysics and in particular to the field of gravitational wave astronomy. This recent achievement has also drawn significant interest in related fields and here intertwined fields of cosmology and high-energy physics stand out. In this topical workshop we will focus on gravitational wave experiments that are sensitive in nHz region – Pulsar Timing Array Experiments (PTA). The main goal is to connect experts from several different fields working on gravitational waves in connection to PTAs and to stimulate  discussions and collaborations.
