Small black hole meets big black hole

Small black hole meets big black hole

by Lisa Drummond | Jul 5, 2018 | Daily Paper Summaries

What happens as a small black hole spirals into a supermassive black hole?

Things that go bump in the detector: dealing with glitches in LIGO data

Things that go bump in the detector: dealing with glitches in LIGO data

by Lisa Drummond | May 28, 2018 | Daily Paper Summaries

Transient noise in the LIGO detector – called “glitches” – can contaminate gravitational wave signals. We need to know how to deal with them, particularly in the case when we don’t know what the signal will look like.

Triple Threat: Uncovering Triple Systems with Gravitational Waves

Triple Threat: Uncovering Triple Systems with Gravitational Waves

by Lisa Drummond | Apr 17, 2018 | Daily Paper Summaries

How do we identify whether gravitational waves are produced by triple systems?

Recoil detectives: searching for black hole kicks using gravitational waves

Recoil detectives: searching for black hole kicks using gravitational waves

by Lisa Drummond | Mar 8, 2018 | Daily Paper Summaries

Gravitational waves are believed to be able to “kick” black hole merger remnants out of their host galaxy. We can search for signatures of that kick directly in gravitational wave signals.

Hunting for Gravitational Waves from Spinning Neutron Stars

Hunting for Gravitational Waves from Spinning Neutron Stars

by Lisa Drummond | Jan 29, 2018 | Daily Paper Summaries

Continuous gravitational waves produced by spinning neutron stars are another avenue for LIGO to listen to the Universe.
