Purpose

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, an international network of gravitational wave (GW) detectors, has detected more than 300 GW events from compact binary coalescences (including candidates). Furthermore, the collaboration is ambitious to detect other types of GWs, such as continuous waves, burst-type GWs, and stochastic GW background. Sophisticated methods for analyzing the observational data are necessary for these successes and explorers. In this workshop, we study how we analyze gravitational wave data. We gather in one place for hands-on work, which would be beneficial and efficient. This workshop can be a good first step to join the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration and/or start your research in gravitational wave physics and astronomy.
