Short gamma-ray burst is from a binary neutron star coalescing into a black hole say researchers
... star system merging into a Kerr-Newman black hole. When the first gravitational wave event detected by LIGO (GW150194) hit the headlines early this year, scientists were quick to search for an associated gamma-ray...

Will PIPER be successful in confirming Inflation Theory?
The era of gravitational wave astronomy was kick started when LIGO detected these once elusive waves emanating from the merger of two enormous black holes. Now however, it is ...

LISA gets green light from ESA
... are blotted out by local noise. Significant progress has already been achieved with the ground-based LIGO detectors for these ripples in spacetime, however these interferometers search for waves at a higher frequency than what...

Powerful outburst points to new class of high-energy transients
... emitted as gravitational waves during the merger of two black holes (originally about 30 solar masses each) as observed by LIGO was equivalent to 5.4×1047 Joules. There is one type of phenomena that is capable of producing energy to this degree...
