If you want to try your hand at making plots like this, but from your own models, check out https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P2000217/public The intrinsic population of binary black holes (in those plots

Space Fun Fact of the Day:So you might be seeing the terms "LIGO" and "Black Hole" being thrown around today, and may be wondering what the big deal is. Well,

Fun new paper led by @ScooperF1 @annacgreen & @hannahmidd8 on our mini-Michelson interferometer, currently living in @thinktankmuseum https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.03052 How did we build a gravitational-wave exhibit for the @thinktankmuseum? @

For all your gravitational-wave needs, the new @LIGO–@ego_virgo catalogue in out, covering the first half of the third observing run. Look at all the discoveries! #GWTC2https://www.gw-openscience.org/eventapi/html/GWTC/ The #GWTC2 papers

I will keep note of all the private sectors helping the Filipino community during the crisis. I swear, right after this crisis is done, I will ALWAYS buy/obtain services from

HELLOOO THE MOST MASSIVE BLACK HOLE MERGER **EVER** WAS JUST DISCOVERED 5 GIGAPARSECS AWAY, when the Universe was about HALF its current age. physics is SO COOL!!! the black hole

Let's nerd out about the LISA mission today!!! Are you excited, I am? LISA is a planned gravitational-wave detector in space. In SPACE! The three satellites orbits around the sun,

so how do the merger rates for BHBH, NSNS and BHNS from #GWTC2 by @LIGO and @ego_virgo (https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.14533 ) compare with theoretical predictions? I show that here in a plot from

New paper with @jmezquiagabravo, new framework, new GW effects & new GR tests: https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.12187 We find that a gravitational lens can split a GW signal in theories beyond GR, much like

A collision in #space revealed a #blackhole that physicists thought could never exist. The observatory that detected it cracked a 100-year-old mystery posed by #Einstein.https://www.businessinsider.in/science/news/a-collision-in-space-revea

The largest black hole yet detected was detected today, and it’s super big news for a lot of reasons! Some exciting information about GW190521 below![image credit: Deborah Ferguson, Karan Jani,

Oooo! Exciting black hole news: a 70 solar mass black hole found in a binary in our Milky Way?https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1766-2Black holes this big aren't expected to form in environments like our

While black holes don’t emit light, they’re not necessarily invisible. Swirling gas, energetic jets, and even ripples in space-time can give them away. Follow this thread to learn how different

So I guess I can talk a bit now about what I've spent most of the last year (in terms of #GravitationalWaves, not the hiding behind the sofa because of
