Gravitational-wave radiation from merging binary black holes and Supernovae

This thesis is conceptually divided into two parts. The first and main part concerns the generation of gravitational radiation that is emitted from merging black-hole binary systems using Numerical Relativity methods. The second part presents the methodology of the search for gravitational-wave burs...
