Enhancing gravitational wave detectors with Kerr-enhanced Optical Springs
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Apr 08, 2024 Since the landmark detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger in 2017, researchers have been pushing the boundaries of physics to uncover more about our universe. These waves have revealed information from the origins of gamma-ray bursts to the genesis of heavy elements. Yet, the weaker waves emitted from post-merger remnants, which could provide critical insights into neutron star interiors, remain undetected by today's standard gravitational wave detectors (GWDs) due to their l ... read more |

NASA team simulates a glimpse of our galaxy in gravitational waves
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 22, 2023 Astronomers using simulated data have produced a glimpse of the sky as it would appear in gravitational waves, cosmic ripples in space-time generated by orbiting objects. The image shows how space-based gravitational wave observatories expected to launch in the next decade will enhance our understanding of our galactic home. Since 2015, ground-based observatories have detected about a hundred events representing the mergers of systems that pair stellar-mass black holes, neutron stars, or both. The ... read more 
A bigger, better space-ripple detectorBoston MA (SPX) Sep 04, 2023 The search for space-shaking ripples in the universe just got a big boost. An MIT-led effort to build a bigger, better gravitational-wave detector will receive $9 million dollars over the next three ... more |
