Title: Doing Astronomy with LIGO: Sources of Gravitational Radiation

Abstract: I will give an overview of some of the more promising
sources of gravitational radiation that might be detected by the
LIGO/VIRGO antennas: coalescing neutron star and/or black hole
binaries; rapidly rotating, non-axisymmetric neutron stars; and a
stochastic background generated in the very early universe. 
Cosmological applications of such measurements will be emphasized.
