Gravitational waves, ripples in space-time caused by massive cosmic events such as black hole mergers, offer a new way to ...

The hope is that the next generation of gravitational wave detectors, including the space-based observatory LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) will be capable of making just such a detection.

And not all gravitational wave science needs to happen on Earth. The European Space Agency (ESA) recently launched the LISA Pathfinder mission as a testbed for technology capable of detecting ...

ESA’s Gaia mission ends after 12 years, having mapped 2 billion stars and reshaped astronomy. Its data will fuel discoveries ...

According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravitational waves warp spacetime ... NASA’s upcoming LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) observatory might be our best shot ...

and that the method can serve as a blueprint for data analysis for next-generation gravitational wave detectors, such as LISA. “Once trained, when a new observation is made, the neural network ...

Selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) for funding back in 2017 following the successful “LISA Pathfinder” effort, and with additional support from NASA, the aim is to detect gravitational waves ...

Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. An interdisciplinary team of ...

where space-time retains imprints from passing gravitational waves. Researchers are exploring if the cosmic microwave background could reveal traces of these waves from black hole mergers ...

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce presents a major challenge for traditional data-analysis methods.
