Where the magic happens: a brief introduction to computing clusters
Your humble laptop can only do so much. Here’s your beginner’s guide to computing clusters!
Uncertainty is the only certainty in gravitational waveforms
Most gravitational-wave models throw away uncertainty, which could make Einstein’s theory look wrong when it isn’t. Today’s authors show when this could happen and how to take care of the problem.
Looking through the eccentricity pinhole
Only a tiny fraction of black hole binaries produce gravitational waves with measurable eccentricity. What does the eccentricity distribution tell us about how these binaries formed?
