Study: Pair of Distinct Black Hole Mergers Reveals Clues on How They Form and Evolve
The mergers, measured one month apart in 2024 by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, advance scientific understanding of the nature of black hole formation and fundamental physics; offer evidence of "seco...

New paper from @ligo.org, @egovirgo.bsky.social and KAGRA announcing the observation of a pair of Binary Black Holes, with big implications for their formation history as well as big impact on our understanding of fundamental physics in our Universe.
Contributions from NCfA member Cael Haster.
I'm incredibly happy to share the amazing results we in the @ligo.org, @egovirgo.bsky.social, KAGRA collaborations have made public today.

Exciting new steps towards more multimessenger astrophysical observations!
Congratulations to NCfA members Carl-Johan Haster and Leo Tsukada!
@unlv.edu
Victoria Niu (grad student @pennstateuniv.bsky.social) and the rest of the gstlal team have designed a cool search targeting binary neutron star mergers, and then found one in the recently released O4a data from @ligo.org! I helped with the astrophysical inference 🙂

A new paper led by NCfA grad student Jiaming Zhuge providing a new constraint of the Hubble constant using only observations of well-localized Fast Radio bursts.

Hubble constant constraint using 117 FRBs with a more accurate probability density function for ${\rm DM}_{\rm diff}$
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most mysterious astronomical transients. Due to their short durations and cosmological distances, their dispersion measure (DM) - redshift ($z$) relation is usef...
