The latest edition of #LIGOMagazine features a poem by Vaibhav Tiwari (@UoBIGWaves) with artwork by @ASleepyWanderer. Check it out at (p. 9 pdf): ligo.org/magazine/LIGO-… @LIGO @ego_virgo @KAGRA_PR
"It was a really magical experience, seeing the corona around the sun, with people applauding and cheering, and people shooting off fireworks after the totality. It was a time for mass connection." Find out more about Derek at #HumansOfLIGO: humansofligo.blogspot.com/2024/04/derek-…
With O4b starting Wed, #LIGOVirgoKAGRA had a nice Fri night: ➡️ 1st #GravitationalWaves candidate of #O4b! ➡️ 1st Triple Detection with both #LIGO detectors PLUS #Virgo since O3! ➡️ Possible #BBH with EXCELLENT #SkyLocalization! 🌄 AND this happened at #sunset here in the #PNW!
Lots of time yesterday with all three detectors online. Great work @LIGOLA @LIGOWA and @ego_virgo Detector status pages: gwosc.org/detector_statu… #O4IsHere
Ok @PlotAstro, I gotta nominate this simple yet cool plot from the @LIGO-@ego_virgo-@KAGRA_PR collaboration Behold, #GW230529 🤩 It’s an event in the mass gap! Paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2404.04248 + you can recreate it using our scripts doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… 😎
Look at that sky localization! The first #GravitationalWave candidate of O4b #S240413p If real, the source is probably a binary black hole False alarm rate 1 in 100 yr GraceDB gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S2… GCN gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/36075 Rating 3⃣🍨🖤 #O4IsHere
The second half of #O4 is here! 🤩 Why don’t we celebrate the start of O4b with some sweet treats! 🍦 Introducing: Creamy Binary Creations ✨ Also available in take home tubs!* #O4IsHere #ObservingRun4 @LIGO @ego_virgo @KAGRA_PR
Our friends at @LIGO detected their first gravitational waves from a binary black hole collision in 2015, in line with Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Soon, our shoebox-sized BurstCube satellite will join the hunt for gamma rays from these events. nasa.gov/universe/nsfs-…
Tomorrow the second half of the LVK Collaboration’s fourth observing run (O4) begins! Virgo will join @LIGO and together they will once again listen to gravitational wave signals from the universe. (1/2)
To find out more about #GW230529 check out the science summary for an easy-to-read digest of all you need to know about our latest confirmed #GravitationalWaves detection: ligo.org/science/Public… You can also read the full scientific article here: dcc.ligo.org/public/0190/P2…
We're excited to announce our detection of #GW230529, the first exceptional #GravitationalWaves event from our fourth observing run #O4. Check out @astronerdika’s cool infographic ligo.org/detections/GW2… or visit our #GW230529 detection page ligo.org/detections/GW2…
