Max Planck Research Group at the Albert Einstein Institute. Simulating merging black holes and neutron stars, and looking for their signatures in the Universe.
Hello world, happy to share out excitement about #BlackHoles and #NeutronStars here. Want to see who is behind these tweets? Find the people @mpi_grav on https://t.co/zsb2gbtN9e.

What happens in neutron star mergers? Complex numerical simulation sheds light on an extreme cosmic process. It took the Japanese supercomputer “Fugaku” 200 days to compute the new model.

Why should you bring gravitational-wave astronomy into school? Proudly supporting a teacher training course, hosted by the German Physical Society (DPG) from 26 to 30 June with some leading minds in the field from QuantumFrontiers https://t.co/RoAsLiKhns @mpi_grav
While we're testing our detectors ahead of #O4 starting next week, we have identified our first interesting candidate #S230518h
If real, the source is most likely a neutron star–black hole binary. Checks of the data quality are underway

Freitagabend schon was vor? Lieber ab 19:00 Uhr den @ARTEde-Twitch-Stream mit @DoktorWhatson sehen!

A video produced by our neutron star expert, Wolfgang Kastaun, where he visualized a homemade NR simulation of a binary neutron star merger over the Alps. ☃️ ABP
1/ Work-life balance in academia can be challenging, but it's essential for maintaining our mental health and overall well-being. Some personal tips for achievieing better balance (I only wish I could always follow them myself!) #AcademicTwitter#WorkLifeBalance
Only 10 weeks until the 4th joint observing run (O4) of @LIGO, @ego_virgo, @KAGRA_PR, and GEO600 begins on 24 May. Up to date info, highlights from the third observing run and our experts – it's all on https://t.co/Tyha8yL0js. #GravitationalWaves#astronomy#Waiting4O4
Today's a very special day for us😇- it's our birthday!🎂😀Happy birthday, Max Planck Society! 🤗 75 years ago, on February 26, 1948, the Max Planck Society was founded in Göttingen as the successor organization to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society. #OTD#maxplanck75#maxplanckhistory
How time flies! Seven years ago today, the first direct detection of a gravitational wave was announced. Since then, a total of 90 signals have been detected and as of May 24, many more should follow. #OTD#GW150914#O4#GravitationalWaves
What a nice experience to visit Ofek Birnholtz's group, as I was invited to give a talk at #BarIlanUniversity. It took me a while to find the astrophysics department though. 😆
Can't wait to explore this diverse and beautiful country. ABP
@SchaferMarlin@mpi_grav Good luck @SchaferMarlin for your future career in industry research. It was a privilege having you here @mpi_grav. How about you now design the first car that can find binary mergers?

Hey everyone, we just posted a brief interview about my time at the AEI Hannover @mpi_grav and in the binary merger group @BinaryNr. If you want to learn more about my story and where life goes next, you can read it here:

Together with a colleague, I've recorded a few Christmas carols for today's AEI online Christmas party. These are the little things that keep me sane: get a funny costume, find some happy songs and just start playing. 🎶 ABP
