Operated by Caltech & Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), NSF's LIGO which found the 1st evidence of gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of space-time – is launching a new observing run with even better instruments. What new marvels will they find next? bit.ly/43DHuBJ 📷 SXS
European Pulsar Timing Array, an international collaboration of European astronomers, together with Indian and Japanese colleagues from the Indian Pulsar Timing Array InPTA, have published the results of more than 25 years of observations from six of the World's most sensitive radio telescopes.
We see early signs of a Gravitational Wave background in our combined dataset with European Pulsar Timing Array. These results corroborate with those from NANOGrav PFC and PPTA CSIRO_ATNF OzGrav Read along in this thread to know this discovery was made and it's consequences!
We are founding members of the International Pulsar Timing Array (International Pulsar Timing Array, ipta4gw.org), a consortium of consortia, in which we collaborate to cross-check our results and make plans for future improvemens of our work.
Exciting news released by our colleagues NANOGrav PFC, European Pulsar Timing Array, InPTA, CSIRO_ATNF and Chinese Pulsar Timing Array today. Congratulations on opening up the nanohertz frequency band of #gravitationalwave astronomy!!
Exciting news! An analysis of NANOGrav’s 15-year data shows evidence for the existence of low-frequency gravitational waves. Teams in Australia, China, Europe, and India have also independently reported their results today. European Pulsar Timing Array InPTA OzGrav CSIRO_ATNF
LIGO Hanford staff joined together this morning to listen to the exciting discussion of NANOGrav PFC year data set. Congratulations to the entire International Pulsar Timing Array on these amazing results. #gravitationalwaves
🔔IceCube results to be published in Science Magazine tomorrow! For the first time, IceCube found evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from our galaxy ➡️ bit.ly/3JBfqYa 📸: IceCube/NSF (Lily Le & Shawn Johnson)/ESO (S. Brunier) #OurGalaxyInNeutrinos
The detection of neutrino emission from the Milky Way at the U.S. National Science Foundation-supported IceCube represents the 3rd source of high-energy neutrinos. More sensitive analyses, coupled with the implementation of machine learning methods, were key in the breakthrough.
On A Thurs Morning (right about now) 6-Yrs Ago Teams Of Astronomers Around The World Were On A Search. Earlier on 8/17/17 (5:41am PT), #GravitationalWaves were recorded by LIGO & EGO & the Virgo Collaboration and 1.7 secs later gamma rays were detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope!!
