UR: Designing a Smaller and More Sensitive Gravitational Wave Detector
In today’s #UndergradResearch post, find out how superluminal lasers could soon make gravitational wave detectors tiny fractions of their current size.
UR: Measuring the Hubble Constant With Dynamical Tides In Inspiraling Neutron Star Binaries
In this #UndergradResearch post, James Sunseri explores the possibility of using gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars to measure the Hubble Constant without observing the electromagnetic spectrum.
UR: Finding the Chirp
Today’s #UndergradResearch post features Shashwat Singh’s work using deep learning as an asset for gravitational wave astronomy!
A Long Drive to Outer Space? Put Gravitational Waves on the Radio!
Space probes to the outer solar system take more than a decade to get there. But that doesn’t mean we have to sit and wait – we can use them to try and detect gravitational waves!
Constraining a cacophony of coalescences
Earth based gravitational wave detectors combine their data to search for a discordant hum from distant gravitational wave sources.
Did we just see two black holes merge?
Today’s paper describes how we may have seen light from two black holes colliding with each other.
