Random German lesson: In German you can produce a word for a small version of anything by attaching the syllable "chen", and often by shifting a vowel to an umlaut. 🧵 1/

What if there are highly spinning solar-mass scale binaries? Yifan Wang and I report a search for these unusual binaries, which might include unusual neutron stars, quark stars, hierarchical merger of primordial black holes, or other exotic scenarios. arxiv.org/abs/2308.16173

🚨 Es gibt ein Update zum Beobachtungslauf von LIGO, EGO & the Virgo Collaboration und KAGRA Gravitational Wave Observatory 🚨 Die LIGO-Wartungspause wird am 16.01.2024 beginnen und voraussichtlich 2 Monate dauern. Virgo wird ab März 2024 an O4 teilnehmen und bis dahin weiter das Detektorrauschen reduzieren. 1/2
