First Detection of Gravitational Waves From Black Holes Swallowing Neutron Stars For the first time, scientists have picked up the ripples in space-time caused by…
Vanderbilt astrophysicist Karan Jani has led a series of studies that make the first case for a gravitational wave infrastructure on the surface of the…
Small modeling errors may accumulate faster than previously expected when physicists combine multiple gravitational wave events (such as colliding black holes) to test Albert Einstein’s…
Black holes, detected by their gravitational wave signal as they collide with other black holes, could be the product of much earlier parent collisions. Such…
Two gravitational wave signals from an entirely new class of cosmic collisions have been discovered by researchers working on the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo…
Salvatore Vitale describes how gravitational-wave signals suggest black holes completely devoured their companion neutron stars. Recently, an international team of scientists, including researchers at MIT,…
Gravitational wave detectors have observed a new type of cataclysmic event in the cosmos: the merger of a neutron star with a black hole. The…
Scientists can now process months’ worth of gravitational wave data in minutes. When gravitational waves were first detected in 2015 by the advanced Laser Interferometer…
Study offers evidence, based on gravitational waves, to show that the total area of a black hole’s event horizon can never decrease. There are certain…
Mix pair is “elusive missing piece of the family picture of compact object mergers.” A long time ago, in two galaxies about 900 million light-years…
A new type of gravitational wave detector to find tennis ball-sized black holes straight out of the Big Bang. “Detecting primordial black holes opens up…
Scientists refine the search for enigmatic continuous gravitational waves. The hunt for the never before heard “hum” of gravitational waves caused by mysterious neutron stars…
Five years on from the first discovery of gravitational waves, an international team of scientists, including from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave…
Scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) have described a way to determine the birth population of double neutron stars…
Remember the days before working from home? It’s Monday morning, you’re running late to beat the traffic, and you can’t find your car keys. What…
A team of international scientists, led by the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery…
Scientists of the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence analyze data from the gravitational wave observatory NANOGrav. The NANOGrav Collaboration recently captured the first signs of very…
An international team of scientists led by the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics and the University of Aveiro, including an undergraduate from the Department…
