The Great IMBH Gig in the Sky
In today’s bite, the authors combine two types of simulations to better understand how intermediate-mass black holes might form in dense nuclear star clusters.
How to Find Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Pulsar Timing Array data without the Pulsars
Pulsar timing arrays could localise individual sources of gravitational waves to host galaxies. The problem is, it’s so computationally difficult! This paper shows us a faster way.
A third black hole enters the fray: Resolving the final parsec problem with triple MBH systems
What happens when a black hole merger stalls at the final parsec? Nothing, unless another black hole can shake things up a bit!
Jam Sesh with the Gravitational Wave Multi-Band
The dynamical universe sends out ripples creating a massive symphony of gravitational waves. Learn how we can tune into all these melodies with new detectors in today’s post!
Horizon or No-rizon? Hunting for new physics in black hole event horizons!
In this Astrobite, we see if gravitational waves can help us find theoretical horizonless compact objects, exotic objects predicted by modern alternatives to General Relativity!
How to Make a Gravilaser
What is a “gravilaser,” and why might astronomers want to make one?
