- LIGO - Wikipedia
Prior to LIGO, all data about the universe has come in the form of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, from limited direct exploration on relatively nearby Solar System objects such as the Moon, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and their moons, asteroids etc, and from high energy cosmic particles
- LIGO Lab | Caltech | MIT
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) consists of two widely separated installations within the United States — one in Hanford Washington and the other in Livingston, Louisiana — operated in unison as a single observatory
- LIGO Detects Most Massive Black Hole Merger to Date
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the US National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded LIGO observatories The powerful merger produced a final black hole approximately 225 times the mass of our Sun
- LIGO Group
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) has launched the era of gravitational wave astronomy Gravitational waves are ripples in the metric of space-time caused by accelerating mass, and can carry information about the motions of astronomical objects
- LIGO – The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The National Science Foundation’s LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) and the European-based Virgo instruments have now detected gravitational waves from more than 10 cosmic sources, including stellar-mass binary black hole mergers and one merger of neutron stars, which are the dense, spherical remains of stellar
- MIT LIGO Lab
Welcome to our group We look for some of the universe's most extreme objects We also make gravitational wave detectors work better, exploring a lot of new and interesting physics on the way
- LIGO has spotted the most massive black hole collision ever detected
A puzzling gravitational wave was detected, and astronomers have determined that it comes from a record-breaking black hole merger
- Gravitational shockwave: LIGO catches a 225-solar-mass black-hole smash . . .
Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely forged by earlier smash-ups fused into a 225-solar-mass titan, GW231123
