Today the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration is proud to announce GW230529, the first exceptional #GravitationalWaves event from our fourth observing run (#O4). You can learn more from @astronerdika's excellent infographic, or by visiting our detection page! https://t.co/oGH4baLlss
The paper is in this link, where we discuss this in the fully relativistic regime for collisionless and wave-like mediums: https://t.co/JKMfiib1y9
A numerical point of view (based on @GRChombo) on all of this also appeared today led by Zipeng Weng: https://t.co/BdPy7A7PLg

When the spin and the velocity do not form a right angle, there is a third force (lift / downforce), moving the black hole out of the plane perpendicular to its spin. So real black holes, with spin, in environments, will move in all kind of funny ways. Isn't that amazing?

📢 @ESA adopts two ambitious space science missions: Venus voyager #EnVision and gravitational wave surfer #LISA.
“These trailblazing missions will take us to the next level in two extraordinarily exciting areas of space science and keep European researchers at the forefront of these domains,” says ESA Director of Science @CGMundell
The ‘adoption’ step recognises that the missions' concept and technology are sufficiently advanced, and gives the go-ahead to build the instruments and spacecraft. Both spacecraft are planned to launch with an #Ariane6
Welcome to the fourth observing run! #O4IsHere
O4 will last 20 months, with @ego_virgo and @KAGRA_PR joining us in the run. We expect the detection rate will be roughly twice in our past observing run
