Our new paper on our LIGO Virgo KAGRA discovery of #GW241011 and #GW241110 is now published

These observations can tell us about the astrophysics of binary formation and test fundamental physics

Not Their First Rodeo: Gravitational Wave Detectors Spot Merging Black Holes That Have Merged Before

The gravitational wave events GW241011 and GW241110 provide strong evidence for the growth of black holes through successive mergers.

Do black holes have a family tree? Read more in today's bite!

@LIGO Putting it on ArXiv although it's OA in the journal because ... it still drives citations?

LIGO Nov 5

@cosmos4u we want as many people to read about our science as possible

@LIGO @cosmos4u People read ArXiv not journals… it is the Meta-Journal 😉

@hfalcke @LIGO @cosmos4u for a lot of folks, skimming through astro-ph with the morning coffee is still a daily ritual. What's not on astro-ph, I will not know about until I hear about it in a conference!

@vicgrinberg @hfalcke @cosmos4u We hope that you enjoyed your coffee while taking a look at our paper

@LIGO @vicgrinberg @hfalcke In the dark ages before most 'top' astronomy journals went open access putting a paper on ArXiv doubled the citation rate (read this in an actual study ... found on ArXiv :-) - just wondered whether such an effect is still in place today: apparently it very much is.

@cosmos4u @LIGO @hfalcke would be interesting to look at the actual numbers today, though I'm not volunteering to obtain them :D

@vicgrinberg @LIGO @cosmos4u press releases are another line of communication actually…

@hfalcke @LIGO @cosmos4u true! But most papers I find super interesting in my subfield do not end up with press releases 😅

@vicgrinberg @LIGO @cosmos4u And I just don’t drink enough coffee to keep up to be honest 😉

@hfalcke @LIGO @cosmos4u tea? A big cup of black tea takes a long time, mine is giant, see evidence - but also, I mainly skim based on keywods.

@vicgrinberg @LIGO @cosmos4u I am a tap water fundamentalist - just pure water not from a bottle 😬
