Triple Threat: Uncovering Triple Systems with Gravitational Waves
How do we identify whether gravitational waves are produced by triple systems?
A long time ago in a quasar far, far away…
The most distant quasar yet discovered illuminates the early universe…
Recoil detectives: searching for black hole kicks using gravitational waves
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.
More on GW170817: Black Hole Popcorn and the Gravitational Wave Background
What are the implications of the historic detection of binary neutron star merger GW170817 for the gravitational wave stochastic background?
Challenges with Testing the No-Hair Theorem
In today’s paper, the authors find that the ringdown frequency and damping time cannot be measured with arbitrary precision, no matter how loud the signal.
How Plural are Singularities?
This cosmic inventory tells us that our universe has plenty of black holes in stock. Read on to learn what else it says!
