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…
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…
