Exploring Low-Frequency Gravitational Wave Sources: Waveforms, Detection and Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

Gravitational wave astronomy has developed significantly since the first detection of gravitational waves in 2015. Various detection methods will realize multi-wavelength observation, including ground-based or space-borne interferometers and pulsar timing arrays. In particular, the latter two will open a low-frequency window for observing gravitational waves, that is, Hz. They will enable the study of gravitational wave physics in the unexplored parameter space of strain and frequency, and then allow for an in-depth understanding of gravitational waves.

In this Special Issue, we will focus on low-frequency gravitational wave sources, waveform templates, data analysis, pipeline software development, and gravitational wave astronomy and physics such as astrophysical environments, tests of theories of gravity, cosmology, and black hole physics.

We welcome contributions on theories, simulations, and data analysis.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
