June 20 - 26, 2010
Perimeter Institute
Scientific Area: Gravity

Searches for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binary systems rely on concrete knowledge of the waveform to achieve maximum sensitivity to these sources. With a network of earth-based detectors currently acquiring data at design sensitivity and LISA's future at a critical stage, the theoretical understanding of these systems and its impact on data analysis efforts is one of the most important activities in current gravity research. This conference will bring together researchers working in theoretical and data analysis efforts to further foster interactions between the different communities involved to exploit theoretical models in the data analysis enterprise. Additionally it will serve as a catalyst for future collaborations and developments among researchers working in numerical relativity and extreme-mass ratio fronts.

Dear Colleagues,

Please note that registration is now open for the CAPRA and NRDA 2010 meeting to be held at the Perimeter Institute (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) from June 20-26, 2010. Due to the nature of this conference, which combines two traditionally separate events, we kindly request that you register as early as possible since space will be limited.

Additionally, abstract submission is now open. Interested authors or presenters are invited to submit abstracts for approval.

Organizers:
Stephen Fairhurst, Cardiff University
Gabriela Gonzalez, Louisiana State University
Luis Lehner, Perimeter Institute/University of Guelph
Yuk Tung Liu, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
Harald Pfeiffer, CITA, University of Toronto
Eric Poisson, University of Guelph
