No matter the signal’s source, the announcement of a gravitational wave background represents a milestone in the embryonic field of gravitational wave astronomy. Just as some astronomers use ...

They tracked the radio waves from more than 60 pulsars for 15 years using three large radio telescopes: the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico (which is no longer operational), the Green Bank ...

A fraction of this signal could be a gravitational wave background predating even these ... up to twice our star's mass crammed into a body no wider than that of the average city here on Earth.

Given that no human-made detector could ever possibly ... the researchers were finally able to “hear” the gravitational wave background they had been looking for. These Waves Could Reveal ...

Because of this difference in distance, the recombining waves are no longer perfectly aligned ... and could be seen today in the cosmic microwave background. LIGO isn’t the only game in town ...

There’s no way for us to know exactly what ... that we now see imprinted on the cosmic microwave background. “These gravitational waves are an aftershock of the Big Bang,” he said.

In a historic first, astronomers have detected low-frequency gravitational waves using a galaxy-sized antenna of millisecond pulsars in the Milky Way. Astronomers have heard the faint hum of ...

Researchers have found the first direct evidence of a “background” of gravitational waves in the universe — a sign that gravitational waves from slowly merging pairs of supermassive black holes, or ...
