摘要 (Abstract): 

Since their first direct discovery in 2015, gravitational waves have contributed significantly to knowledge about astrophysics and fundamental physics. I will first introduce the Open Gravitational-wave Catalog (OGC), an independent search result using open-source software and public LIGO and Virgo data. Then I will review the scientific implications of these results and introduce looking for higher-order ringdown mode from the most massive events and its tests of general relativity.
