Jackie explains that a laser inside the tubes is split, bounces off mirrors, and goes straight back to sensors at the center ...

Astronomers gain a greater understanding of black hole singularity. Experimental evidence for a finite core could illuminate ...

Magnetar flares, colossal cosmic explosions, may be directly responsible for the creation and distribution of heavy elements across the universe, suggests a new study.

A regular black hole would have the light ring and the outer horizon, but also an inner horizon, which would enclose a core ...

The book is appropriate for undergraduate students and can be read by graduate students and researchers who want to be involved in either the theoretical or the experimental traits of the study of ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

There is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, and it's not alone. There is also likely a forest of binary ...

All of these emit gravitational waves as they gradually spiral ever closer together. These gravitational waves are too faint for us to detect at the moment, but future observatories will be able ...
