Reposted by @ncfa.bsky.socialCarl Haster @haster.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Today 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. 165 0
