A Merger in Space: Black Holes and Neutron Stars
Professor Duncan Brown, Physics Department, Syracuse University The first detection of colliding black holes rocked the scientific world, establishing that gravitational waves are real and that we are able to measure them. More recently, scientists have achieved the first detection of colliding neutron stars, both with light gravitational waves. The era of multi-messenger gravitational-wave astronomy has begun. Professor Brown will discuss the implications of these colossal cosmic mergers, what they create, and how they are changing our view of the universe. |
