💯 ✅

With two new gravitational-wave candidates on May 27, there are now 101 such likely astrophysical events in O4, the fourth observing run of the gravitational-wave detectors @LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, and GEO600.

The researchers still need to investigate the signal candidates in more detail before characterizing and publishing them in scientific papers.

Fingers crossed that there will be 200 gravitational-wave events at the end of O4 (in February 2025).

Wow! The universe seems quite active right now: The gravitational-wave detectors have observed three possible binary black hole mergers in the past three days.

In all three cases, the direction of origin of the gravitational waves could be determined fairly precisely.

New profile picture 🖼️

Neutron stars typically have about 40 % more mass than our Sun with a diameter of only about 20 kilometres. This image shows a neutron star next to Hannover, a site of the @mpi_grav.

Researchers from the permanent independent research group “Continuous Gravitational Waves” use these very waves to search for otherwise invisible neutron stars.
