This book offers review chapters written by invited speakers of the 3rd Session of the Sant Cugat Forum on Astrophysics - Gravitational Waves Astrophysics. All chapters have been peer reviewed. The book goes beyond normal conference proceedings in that it provides a wide panorama of the astrophysics of gravitational waves and serves as a reference work for researchers in the field.

Carlos F. Sopuerta is working at the Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC-IEEC), Barcelona, as a Ramón y Cajal Researcher. His main research interest lies in the new area of Gravitational Wave Astronomy.

From the Contents: Astrophysics of Extreme and Intermediate mass-ratio inspirals.- The PSR J0348+0432 system and its impact for Gravitational Wave Astrophysics.- Tidal Disruptions in Extreme and Intermediate mass-ratio inspirals.- Event Rates of Compact Binaries for advanced ground-based GW detectors and related astrophysics.- Astrophysics with 2nd generation Gravitational-Wave detectors.
