The missing link in gravitational-wave astronomy: A summary of discoveries waiting in the decihertz range

Sedda, Manuel Arca, Berry, Christopher P L, Jani, Karan et al.

Understand

Since 2015 the gravitational-wave observations of LIGO and Virgo have transformed our understanding of compact-object binaries.

In the years to come, ground-based gravitational-wave observatories such as LIGO, Virgo, and their successors will increase in sensitivity, discovering thousands of stellar-mass binaries.
In the 2030s, the space-based LISA will provide gravitational-wave observations of massive black holes binaries.
Between the $\sim 10$-$10^3~\mathrm{Hz}$ band of ground-based observatories and the $\sim10^{-4}$-$10^{-1}~\mathrm{Hz}$ band of LISA lies the uncharted decihertz gravitational-wave band.
