For Their Next Trick, Gravitational Wave Observatories Could Detect Collapsing Stars

The merging of black holes and neutron stars are among the most energetic events in the universe. Not only do they emit colossal amounts of energy, they can also be detected through gravitational waves. Observatories like LIGO/Virgo (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory) and KAGRA (The Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector) have detected their gravitational waves but … Continue reading "For Their Next Trick, Gravitational Wave Observatories Could Detect Collapsing Stars"
