I will review constraints on fundamental physics that have been inferred from observations of gravitational waves, and look forward to see what new results might be obtained in the near future, and what might be possible with future generations of gravitational-wave detectors.
KAGRA is a ground-based interferometric gravitational-wave detector with kilometer-scale arms as well as LIGO and Virgo. There are two unique features in KAGRA: one is constructed at the underground site and the other is using cryogenic sapphire mirrors for the main mirrors. Underground site provides a quite environment and is effective to reduce the seismic noise. Utilizing cryogenic sapphire...
Gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences provide a unique laboratory to test properties of compact objects. As alternatives to the ordinary black holes in general relativity, various exotic compact objects have been proposed. Some of them have largely different values of the tidal deformability and spin-induced quadrupole moment from those of black holes, and their binaries could...
The DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (DECIGO) is a future Japanese space gravitational-wave antenna. There are many science targets that DECIGO aims to achieve, including the detection of primordial gravitational waves, direct measurement of the acceleration of the Universe, the revelation of the formation of massive black holes, and many others. DECIGO consists of four...
