Giving Justice to Intermediate Mass Black Hole Mergers!
How can we find the gravitational waves that form when an IMBH and SMBH merge? Read ahead to find out how we can prepare to detect these supposedly common mergers using LISA!
Tuning Black Hole Data for LISA to Hear
In today’s Astrobite, the authors create a mock massive black hole data set to test whether their LISA analysis pipeline can recover their mock data.
How Long Until the Next Kilonova? Should We Keep Gravitational Wave Detectors Going??
Should gravitational wave observatories continue looking for kilonovae? How can we best plan our upgrades to these observatories to optimize our search for these objects?
Can we perform a Supernova Autopsy Via Gravitational Waves?
In this Astrobite, the authors try to solve the mystery of what happens to the corpse of a supernova post-explosion: black hole or neutron star?
Looking for Supermassive Black Holes
The amplitude of the gravitational wave background is too high for the number of supermassive black holes that we’ve observed! Find out how we can resolve this issue in today’s bite
Remember me? The impact of Gravitational Wave “Memory” on the Cosmic Microwave Background
In this Astrobite, we see if a phenomenon called gravitational wave memory can leave a noticeable imprint on the CMB!
