| Resumen en inglés | Within this decade, gravitational wave detection will open a new observational window on the Universe. Advanced ground-based interferometers covering the kilohertz frequency range will be online by 2016, and the announcement of a first detection within 5 years is foreseeable. At the same time, a worldwide effort for detecting low-frequency waves (in the nanohertz regime) by timing ultra-precise millisecond pulsars is rapidly growing, possibly leading to a positive detection within this decade. The millihertz regime, bridging these two windows, is the realm of space-based interferometers, which might be launched in the late 1920s. I provide here a short overview of the scientific payouts of gravitational wave astronomy, focusing the discussion on the low-frequency regime (pulsar timing and space-based interferometry). A detailed discussion of advanced ground-based interferometer can be found in Patrick Brady’s contribution to this proceeding series |
