Researchers create new method for identifying black holes
Thursday, June 30, 2016 - 08:51
in Astronomy & Space
Scientists have developed a faster, more accurate way to assess gravitational wave signals and infer the astronomical sources that made them. Their method directly compares data from the LIGO detectors to cutting-edge numerical simulations of binary black holes.
