Today the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Collaborations released our fifth catalogue of Gravitational Wave Transients. This is extra exciting for us here at @unlv.edu as the flagship publication (dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P260015...) was led by Leo Tsukada, a postdoctoral research fellow at the @ncfa.bsky.social.

This is most evident in the very well measured spins of the more massive BH in our binaries.

These two binaries have some pretty exciting properties, with binary configurations nicely hinting towards a likely formation through *at least* a dynamical process, but also potentially with one of the Black Holes in our observed binaries being the remnant from a previous BBH merger!

The ground is illuminated red by the rear lights of a bus, the night sky is clear and filled with stars.

A happy start for my stay @aspenphysics.bsky.social Excited to learn and work on low-frequency Gravitational Wave science!

A nice Kelvin–Helmholtz instability over the Grand Canyon

Strong approval of today's featured Wikipedia article!
Today's featured Wikipedia article is the one about the Virgo gravitational wave detector.

Things might be tough now, but there's always a light at the end of the tunnel

The light at the end of the tunnel:
