Aims and Scope

Advanced laser-interferometric gravitational-wave detectors such as advanced LIGO, advanced VIRGO, and KAGRA (LCGT) will be in operation from 2015. These will detect gravitational waves from general relativistic and dynamical phenomena such as coalescing compact binaries composed of neutron stars and black holes and will open a new window in astronomy and astrophysics. For the detection and subsequent establishment of gravitational-wave astronomy, we have to prepare many ingredients in this field in the next couple of years: Improving the sensitivity of the detectors, developing efficient data analysis techniques, predicting gravitational waveforms as accurately as possible, and predicting electromagnetic/neutrino counter parts of gravitational waves. In YKIS2013, we invite world-wide leaders in gravitational-wave astronomy/physics as lecturers and discuss the present status and the prospect in this field.

Associated with this YKIS conference, we will also hold a one-month workshop on "gravitational waves and numerical relativity" from May 19 to June 22 as a part of the Yukawa International Program for Quark-Hadron Science (YIPQS).
