A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black ...

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely ...

“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...

The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...

A team of scientists led by expert Raúl Jiménez, ICREA researcher at the University of Barcelona's Institute of Cosmos ...

Once again, gravitational waves have been observed whose origin should not actually exist: a collision of black holes with "forbidden" mass.

Black holes this massive are forbidden through standard stellar evolution models.” And with those words, Cardiff University’s Mark Hannam, a member of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration, ...

Caption: Astronomers have revealed the largest black hole merger to date. This illustration shows how the merger would appear to our eyes if we could somehow travel in a spaceship for a closer look.

Gravitational waves spotted by LIGO reveal two black holes, 140 and 100 times the mass of the sun, merged to become a 225 solar mass behemoth.

Black hole mergers release gravitational waves detected by observatories, revealing insights into the universe's mysteries.

The event is the most massive black hole merger ever recorded by gravitational wave detectors and has forced physicists to ...

Scientists have observed the largest black hole merger ever detected, marking a historic breakthrough in astrophysics. The ...
