제목: New era of gravitational wave astronomy   

초록: 

  Typical astronomy requires an astrophysical objects, a medium to transfer information, and an observational equipment. Gravitational waves are a new medium to see the universe, and we now understand their origins and have detectors to observe them. As gravitational wave science takes on these characteristics of typical astronomy, it is becoming astronomy. To welcome the era of gravitational wave astronomy, I will introduce the basic knowledge we need. First we see the types of sources for gravitational waves. Second, we study the principle of the propagation of gravitational waves. Thirdly, I introduce various methods to detect gravitational waves.
