Parameter estimation of compact binaries

The estimation of parameter values and associated waveforms of observed compact-binary coalescences is a key contribution to the science case of GW detectors. It is key to tests of general relativity, to many cosmological studies, to population studies of compact objects, to studies of gravitational lensing of gravitational waves, of course, to the exploration of the nature and properties of the objects involved in the merger, and it forms part of a multi-messenger science together with the observation of electromagnetic signals and potentially neutrinos.
