gravitational waves

Researchers have developed a technique to analyse how black holes ‘ring’ when they collide and merge: one of the universe’s most dramatic events.

Gravitational waves data held clues for high-mass black holes’ violent beginnings.

In a galaxy far away, two dead stars begin a final spiral into a massive collision. The resulting explosion unleashes a huge burst of energy, sending...

Results confirm new population of black holes.

An international team of astronomers has proved the existence of a ‘gravitational vortex’ around a black hole, solving a mystery that has eluded...

Black holes are the most powerful gravitational force in the Universe. So what could cause them to be kicked out of their host galaxies? Cambridge...

New window on the universe is opened with the observation of gravitational waves – ripples in spacetime – caused by the collision of two black holes....

New research provides revelations about the most energetic event in the universe — the merging of two spinning, orbiting black holes into a much...
