Gloabl team expands gravitational wave catalogue with 128 new detections
London, UK (SPX) Sep 03, 2025 An international network of gravitational wave observatories has more than doubled the number of known cosmic collisions, detecting 128 new mergers of black holes and neutron stars. The results, published in the updated Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4.0), showcase the expanding reach of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. The detections, gathered between May 2023 and January 2024, mark a turning point in gravitational-wave astronomy. Improved sensitivity in the detectors, now 25 perce ... read more |
