Our first event of the season! #S230529ay is a tentative NSBH candidate with a false alarm rate of 1 per 160 yrs

Only @LIGOLA was online, so the sky localisation is poor. Our colleagues are hard at work to bring you the full detector network! 👷♂️👷♀️
The universe listened to my plea - and gave us an NSBH! Online PE finished in about half an hour and we got the skymap out promptly after that. Sorry for the 25000 deg^2 sky localization 😅 https://t.co/ndKVXGTzYW
New #GravitationalWave alert while I was out for a stroll #S230529ay
If real, it would be an NSBH and promising for a counterpart, but as only @LIGOLA was observing, we can't localise the source
False alarm rate: 1 per 160 yr

Today the @LIGO-Virgo-@KAGRA_PR (LVK) Collaboration begins a new observing run with upgraded instruments, new and even more accurate signal models, and more advanced data analysis methods. LIGO will resume operations today, while Virgo will join later in the year.
No recriminations.
Solidarity, strength, strategy and resolve.
We'll find a way through it, however hard it might be and however long it takes, and we will make this the beautiful country it ought to be.
And in the meantime we will fucking well look after each other.
Like science? Want to know more about how LGBTQ+ folks experience academia? In striking distance of Glasgow? Come to this tonight, it’s going to be a barrel of science and banter, hosted by @BPearlstone at #GlaSciFest ! #LGBTSTEM
Guys, this guy Duc was trafficked into the UK and there is a petition to stop him being deported on the 13th June. Read his story here https://t.co/fD4bewQCoT and consider signing here https://t.co/81qPPmEq2M

First lead-author paper published in @PhysRevLett!
In the paper we describe how #machinelearning may improve upon current @LIGO computational methods to search for #gravitationalwaves.
