🎂 Today is the 9th birthday of gravitational-wave astronomy

Happy anniversary to GW150914, our first detection!

Figured I'd try this thing: https://t.co/F34Z8TdqGw

Thrilled to announce the culmination of years of research, working with an amazing team; the results for PSR J0437-4715 are finally here✨🍾! Dive into details of how we came about some of the tightest neutron star radius measurement to date in this insightful thread! #published

Two #GravitationalWave candidates while I was out today!

#S240615dg if real, has a binary black hole source. It has the best sky localization ever!!

@samayanissanke Your presence is missed but your talk was fantastic! To quote a colleague, "very high SNR."

[Floor Broekgaarden 💫 @FloorAstro]

Software is increasingly important for research, but is often not cited. This is why @tomjwagg & I introduce the Software Citation Station 😎👩‍💻🚉 https://t.co/8sM1ZYv1bB:
a public website and tool to quickly find or add software citations! Try it here: https://t.co/GqyLb9Wssi

Also headed to Trento for the week!

[Floor Broekgaarden 💫 @FloorAstro]

The 2nd Cosmic Explorer Symposium is happening next week. You can still register online here: https://t.co/kdCLBjh6KF Thanks @sasomao Joey Key, Stefan Ballmer, Bangalore Sathyaprakash and Lisa Barsotti for organizing such an exciting event!

Did you catch the solar eclipse? 🌙 🌑
Marie Johnson, Dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, says it's important to make science tangible because, "We spend all day, every day, trying to seek the truth through scientific means. When something like this happens, it makes it real."
👉Let us know where in the world you were able to see the eclipse!

[LIGO Hanford @LIGOWA]

The search for #GravitationalWaves resumes this morning (April 10, 2024) at 8am PDT, when the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Observing Run #4 Part B (O4b) BEGINS!
📣
#O4b will run until Feb 2025.

Just caught the total eclipse from Dallas minutes after it emerged from cloud! Amazing experience with extended family.

[Cal State Fullerton @csuf]

Titan physicists are on the forefront of a new discovery of gravitational waves from two cosmic objects not seen by scientists before. 🌌🔭Jocelyn Read, professor of physics and Sunny Ng, a physics graduate student are co-authors of the research.

I did it anyway, but the best shots were my kids going wild!

[Grant Tremblay @astrogrant]

Of course if you wanna take a pic please live your life. You know I’ll be a total hypocrite and try it too.

#GW230529 Is Exceptional Because it is a #NeutronStarBlackHole event with the Primary Mass squarely in the #MassGap.

Great to see @csufcnsm Master's student Sunny Ng contribution to new gravitational wave discoveries! https://t.co/xmGmvS0U6C

[Jocelyn Read @drjocelynread]

@APSphysics @csufphysics @csuf @SXSProject On Friday in Session M09 also starting at 1:30, I'll be presenting "Nuclear astrophysics using the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA gravitational-wave network"

(After the tantalizing "Under embargo until session" talk from @spacedontwait)

Looking forward to lots of great discussion!

[Jocelyn Read @drjocelynread]

Heading to the @APSphysics April meeting in Sacramento with several @csufphysics colleagues!

Wednesday in session D03 at 3:45, NP3M postdoctoral fellow Lami Suleiman will present "Can quasi-universal relations be used in the future of Neutron Star detections?"

[Jocelyn Read @drjocelynread]

@APSphysics @csufphysics @csuf From the black hole side of GWPAC, Alex Carpenter and Alex Macedo will both be presenting about @SXSProject work in Friday's session M16 starting at 1:30, and Prof. Geoffrey Lovelace will present "Simulating merging binary black holes with SpECTRE" in P05 starting at 3:45
