Description

I introduce the kinematic cosmic dipole tension, which is a challenge for isotropic models of the Universe. I present different ways in which this dipole can be measured, and the resulting tension, comparing early (CMB) and late Universe maps. I then show the contribution that the next generation of gravitational waves detectors will have on this issue, thanks to resulting maps of gravitational waves events. I illustrate how such maps will bring deeper insight into the tension, along with detection forecasts.
