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…
Rochester Institute of Technology scientists have developed new simulations of black holes with widely varying masses merging that could help power the next generation of…
The merger of two black holes in a binary system emits energy that can be detected on Earth by gravitational-wave observatories. The LIGO Scientific Collaboration…
Combining signals from multiple observations of neutron stars has allowed researchers to better understand the properties of ultra-dense matter and constrain the Hubble constant, which…
A group of international scientists, including an Australian astrophysicist, has used know-how from gravitational-wave astronomy (used to find black holes in space) to study ancient…
An international team of scientists may be close to detecting faint ripples in space-time that fill the universe. Pairs of black holes billions of times…
Scientists have used a “galaxy-sized” space observatory to find possible hints of a unique signal from gravitational waves, or the powerful ripples that course through…
University of Chicago scientist lays out how LIGO gravitational waves could be scrambled, yielding information. There’s something a little off about our theory of…
Identifying primordial ripples would be key to understanding the conditions of the early universe. In the moments immediately following the Big Bang, the very first…
PRISMA+ scientists propose exotic low-mass fields as new messengers of astrophysical events. Cataclysmic astrophysical events such as black hole mergers could release energy in unexpected…
In 2015, the first direct observation of gravitational waves was made by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (aLIGO) (Abbott et al. 2016). The detected…
New analysis of gravitational-wave data leads to wealth of discoveries. An international research collaboration including Northwestern University astronomers has produced the most detailed family portrait…
Over the past five years, astronomy has been revolutionized as scientists have used ripples in the fabric of spacetime, called gravitational waves, to reveal the…
In a recently published study, a team of researchers led by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) at Monash suggests an…
Rapidly rotating, asymmetric neutron stars that undergo free precession can produce both modulated pulse signals and continuous gravitational radiation with characteristic features, and thus are…
A team of gravitational-wave scientists led by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) reveal that when two black holes collide and…
When two neutron stars slam together, the result is sometimes a black hole that swallows all but the gravitational evidence of the collision. However, in…
By quieting the quantum whisper, we can now listen to the more subtle notes of the cosmic symphony. Gravitational wave detectors have opened a new…
