At 225 solar masses, this gargantuan merger of two black holes challenges our thinking on these famously elusive objects.
这次合并涉及的两个黑洞质量分别约为 103 倍和 137 倍太阳质量,远超过此前的纪录保持者。2021 年探测到的 GW190521 事件曾创下当时的最高纪录,合并后产生的黑洞质量约为 140 倍太阳质量,而 GW231123 的结果比这一数字高出了 ...

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely forged by earlier smash-ups fused into a 225-solar-mass titan, GW231123. The ...
May 24 marked the start of O4, the latest gravitational-wave hunting effort of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration. But only LIGO is fully operational right now.
LIGO’s 20-month observation run 04 will officially start on May 24, and it will later be joined by Virgo and a new Japanese observatory—the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector, or KAGRA.
Since 2020, the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory—commonly known as LIGO—has been sitting dormant while it underwent some exciting upgrades. These improvements will significantly ...
