Squeeze leads to stellar-mass black hole collision precision. Scientists at The Australian National University (ANU) have found a way to better detect all collisions of…
Potential new class of black holes that are smaller than researchers believed possible. Black holes are an important part of how astrophysicists make sense of…
Two University of Hawaii at Manoa researchers have identified and corrected a subtle error that was made when applying Einstein’s equations to model the growth…
Second fastest spinning radio pulsar known is a gamma-ray pulsar, too. Multi-messenger observations look closely at the system and raise new questions. An international research…
By listening for specific tones in the gravitational waves of black hole mergers, researchers are putting Albert Einstein’s theories to new tests. When two black…
Scientists have carried out a closer analysis of previously recorded data from the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, tracking down four new signals. They…
Researchers from the University of Portsmouth have made vital contributions to the observations of four new gravitational waves, which were announced this weekend. The new…
Twenty years ago, scientists were shocked to realize that our universe is not only expanding, but that it’s expanding faster over time. Pinning down the…
The historic first detection of gravitational waves from colliding black holes far outside our galaxy opened a new window to understanding the universe. A string…
Black holes in dense stellar clusters could combine repeatedly to form objects bigger than anything a single star could produce. When LIGO’s twin detectors first…
Far from earth, two black holes orbit around each other propagating waves that bend time and space. The existence of such waves — gravitational waves…
“By expanding our pulsar timing array over the next 10 years or so, there is a high likelihood of detecting gravitational waves from at least…
A New survey of fast-spinning pulsar stars offers a better estimate of when astronomers will first detect gravitational waves from merging supermassive black holes. Astronomers…
Astronomers observe a binary neutron star merger through gravitational waves detected by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. On August 17, the Laser Interferometry…
Scientists from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration report the first joint detection of gravitational waves with both the LIGO and Virgo detectors….
A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics reveal that hidden dimensions – as predicted by string theory – could influence…
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) has made a third detection of gravitational waves, ripples in space and time, demonstrating that a new window in…
Astrophysicists have been hard at work trying to determine how black holes can come together and merge. A newly published study from the University of…
