    S301 whipping past Sgr A* at 8% lightspeed could let us actually measure OUR black hole's spin via frame-dragging on its orbit. Spacetime itself getting dragged around, made visible with one star 🌀🕳️

Debarati Chatterjee shows how gravitational waves let us peer inside neutron stars to study ultra-dense matter — connecting nuclear theory, heavy-ion experiments and astrophysics.

  44. 🖥️ The researchers used the distributed volunteer computing project @einsteinathome and the @maxplanckgesellschaft's computing clusters Atlas, Raven, and Viper to analyze public data from the @LIGO detectors’ third observing run (O3).

    🔍 They found all hardware injections — signals added artificially to the data by moving the LIGO mirrors — within the search range, and were the first ever to successfully detect the hardware injection no. 11.

    🚀 While no astrophysical signals were observed, the team expects their O3 results to be competitive with LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA analyses based on yet unpublished data from the latest, fourth observing run (O4) data.

  45. ✨ New selected research highlight ✨

    Einstein@Home conducts most sensitive search for elusive continuous gravitational waves.

    ✨ Astronomers expect the Galactic population of neutron stars – compact remnants of supernova explosions – to be a promising source of continuous gravitational waves, which have yet to be detected.

    🔭 Since the sky positions, spin frequencies, and frequency derivatives of individual neutron stars are unknown, wide-band, all-sky searches are one of the main tools used in the field. Researchers from the independent @maxplanckgesellschaft research group “Continuous Gravitational Waves” at the @mpi_grav have recently published the deepest all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves to date.
