🚀 10 years of gravitational-wave astronomy 🔭

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first gravitational-wave detection, we will be taking part in the Long Night of Astronomy on September 13, 2025, at the Zeiss Großplanetarium in Berlin.

➡️ https://www.planetarium.berlin/veranstaltungen/lange-nacht-der-astronomie-2025

From 5:00 p.m., scientists from the “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” Department at @mpi_grav in Potsdam will be available at a booth to answer questions about gravitational-wave astronomy and relativity.

At 11:00 p.m., the event “Sounds of Silence: Ten Years of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy”, featuring English-language lectures and a performance by artist Leon Trimble, will begin in the planetarium's cinema.

#LIGO and #GoogleDeepMind have created an #AI tool called Deep Loop Shaping to reduce the "noise" in the mirror systems used by gravitational-wave detectors - opening a path to deeper insights into black holes and neutron stars, and maybe better noise-canceling headphones. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/ligo-google-ai-gravitational-waves/ #gravitationalwaves #Space #Tech

And now for today's third gravitational-wave candidate!

If real, S250904cv most likely originated from a merger of two black holes around 8 billion light-years away.

The position in the sky could be constrained to within about 1200 square degrees.

Since early this morning, there have been two new gravitational-wave candidates.

S250904ae, if real, most likely originated from a merger of two black holes at a distance of around 11 billion light-years.

ℹ️ https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250904ae/view/

The sky position could be constrained to an area of around 1000 square degrees.

S250904br, if real, most likely originated from a merger of two black holes at a distance of around 9 billion light-years.

ℹ️ https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250904br/view/

Its sky position could be constrained to within approximately 370 square degrees.

Another new gravitational wave candidate from yesterday evening.

S250901cb most likely came – if it's real – from a merger of black holes 6.6 billion light-years away.

ℹ️ https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250901cb/view/

The position in the sky could be determined to within about 600 square degrees.

"10 years ago, LIGO saw its first gravitational wave. After 218 detections, our view of black holes has changed forever."

LIGO, facing threats of closure, more than doubles its black hole haul

10 years ago, LIGO saw its first gravitational wave. After 218 detections, our view of black holes has changed forever. Can this era endure?
