 | An historic milestone was reached recently in Australia's bid to host the Square Kilometre Array telescope -- a future international radio telescope that will be the world's largest and most sensitive. ...> Full Article |
 | Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have detected, in another galaxy, a stellar-mass black hole much farther away than any other previously known. With a mass above fifteen times that of the Sun, this is also the second most massive stellar-mass black hole ever found. It is entwined with a star that will soon become a black hole itself. ...> Full Article |
 | A breakthrough in discovering new millisecond pulsars is providing astronomers a greatly improved capability to use those natural cosmic tools to make the first direct detections of gravitational waves. ...> Full Article |
 | A significant advance in our understanding of the early evolution of the universe has been achieved by a team of scientists associated with the LIGO and Virgo scientific collaborations. The research has put new constraints on the details of how the universe looked in its earliest moments, and has discovered the most stringent limits yet on the amount of gravitational waves that could have come from the Big Bang. ...> Full Article |
Results set new limits on gravitational waves that could have come from the Big Bang, and begin to constrain current theories about universe formation

 | The international QUIET collaboration will deploy a new gravity-wave probe in June. QUIET's goal: detect remnants of the radiation emitted at the earliest moments of the universe, when gravity waves rippled through the very fabric of space-time itself. Gravity waves have been called the smoking gun of cosmic inflation, when space expanded faster than the speed of light a tiny fraction of a second following the big bang. ...> Full Article |
More than 200,000 people have signed up for the project and donated time on their computers to search gravitational wave data for signals from unknown pulsars.

 | In one of the first significant scientific findings from a huge collaborative effort to detect gravitational waves, the team operating the Laser Interferometer Gravity-wave Observatory (LIGO) is reporting this week that the pulsar at the center of the Crab Nebula must have an extremely smooth surface. ...> Full Article |
 | Like a celestial top, the spinning neutron star known as the Crab Pulsar is slowing, a phenomenon that astronomers have yet to fully understand. ...> Full Article |
 | Scientists hope that a new supercomputer being built by Syracuse University's Department of Physics may help them identify the sound of a celestial black hole. The supercomputer, dubbed SUGAR (SU Gravitational and Relativity Cluster), will soon receive massive amounts of data from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) that was collected over a two-year period at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). ...> Full Article |
