A group of Manitoba researchers were involved behind the scenes of an international effort that this week revealed the first documented case of two massive black holes merging — happily, billions of light years from Earth.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the first successful detection of gravitational waves. They are produced by monumental cosmic collisions – typically black holes – and are currently being monitored by a trio of observatories: LIGO (USA), VIRGO (Italy) and KARGA (Japan). Mark Hannam of Cardiff University in the UK and his ...
Manitoba Scientists Help Confirm Largest Black Hole Merger Ever Recorded - Optic Flux
Largest Black Hole Collision Ever Seen Has a Manitoba Connection A global team of astrophysicists has confirmed the most massive black hole merger detected to date. Among the contributors are researchers from the University of Manitoba, working within the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA gravitational wave observatory network. This event, cataloged as GW231123, revealed a binary black hole system […]
