“The take-away message,” says LIGO Director David Reitze, “is buckle your seat belts!” Gravitational waves from second neutron-star collision observed skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news… via Sky & Telescope

We celebrate #WomenScienceDay #February11 with wonderful women at our new Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics CGA@ANU. We seek to increase the number of women & diversity at all career levels #IAmAPhysicist #Science4All Australian Institute of Physics OzGrav Science & Medicine at ANU PhysicsANU LIGO

Scientists get closer to detecting elusive continuous gravitational waves for the first time: new insights into ‘humming’, 'wobbly' continuous waves from spinning neutron stars Australian Research Council UWA Science & Medicine at ANU University of Melbourne OzGrav Adelaide SpaceAustralia.com spaceaustralia.com/index.php/feat…

We have exciting news! We've just released our new LIGO EGO & the Virgo Collaboration KAGRA Gravitational Wave Observatory catalog #GWTC3,which includes many more detections from the 2nd part of #O3 and brings our total number of #GravitationalWaves events to 90. Read all about #GWTC3 at ligo.org/detections/O3b…

Scientists have a new lead on one of the Universe's burning mysteries. 🔎🔭🌌 A study co-led by #ANUExperts is searching for gravitational waves to locate boson clouds - a possible source of dark matter. 📖 anu.edu.au/news/all-news/…

Did a science show this week about the recently released LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA paper on an all-sky scalar boson search. Find more details here ligo.org/science/Public… (and sorry about a slip of the tongue for the particle's mass; it's around 1e-48 kg rather than 1e-28 kg.) CGA@ANU

For years, we’ve been answering the question: When will #NASAWebb launch? This morning, we answered that for the last time! Next up: Where is Webb? We’ve got an answer for that, too! See where Webb is on its million mile journey to #UnfoldTheUniverse: webb.nasa.gov/whereiswebb

We celebrate Women in Science Day 2022! This is 8 of our wonderful women scientists CGA@ANU at work. We do it all from experiments 🔬to data analysis 👩‍💻 to theory 🦸‍♀️ Enjoy our day🎉 Australian Academy of Science Australian Institute of Physics @WomenSciAUST LIGO OzGrav Science & Medicine at ANU PhysicsANU Homeward Bound

Over two wintry days in #Canberra our Director of OzGrav visited ourANU node and cga. Time to pause and reflect where we are now, and where we will be with gravitational waves 20 years from now 🌊🌊 Australian Institute of Physics LIGO EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @WomenSciAUST

Dark matter - boson clouds - surrounding a black hole could slow its rotation, leading to larger black holes. Fascinating new work by Dr Lilli Sun & Ethan Payne from CGA@ANU OzGrav physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N…

Congratulations to all ❤️ More discoveries and exciting science to come!!

We just had an excellent meeting of OzGrav Chief Investigators in #Adelaide to start planning a Southern Hemisphere 3rd generation gravitational wave detector to be located in #Australia. We have a long but exciting road ahead! 🛣️🌊 Australian Institute of Physics Australian Academy of Science LIGO ourANU

Yesterday was a great planning day for CGA@ANU for optical electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational wave events 🌊💫 in the forthcoming observing run O4 of LIGO EGO & the Virgo Collaboration & KAGRA. Great to welcome colleagues @emilleishida and Kendall Ackley 😊 OzGrav PhysicsANU ourANU

CGA is celebrating the start of #O4IsHere with the launch of its ANU-based LIGO remote control room and the addition of the ANU 2.3m Telescope to the electromagnetic follow-up campaign. OzGrav Australian Institute of Physics Science & Medicine at ANU Lilli Sun Chris Lidman Bram Slagmolen
