Abstract

The first detections of gravitational waves from compact-object mergers have opened up new opportunities and challenges in astrophysics. I will describe ongoing efforts to extract the astrophysical evolution of massive stellar binaries from observations of gravitational waves emitted during mergers of the stellar remnants.
