A kaleidoscope of cosmic collisions: the new catalogue of gravitational signals from LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA

The catalogue of all the new 128 events observed by LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA from May 2023 to January 2024 is being published. It reveals an even greater variety of binary pairs producing gravitational waves than previously known. The new observations allow us to better...

Einstein is still right, relativity passes the gravitational wave test (for now)

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration published a new, more accurate, test of Einstein’s theory of general relativity using their clearest gravitational wave signal yet: GW250114. In all tests, the observations match the theory’s predictions.  Since its publication, over...
