I led the team of @LIGO-@ego_virgo-Kagra scientists working on the analysis and paper writing of this event with @spacedontwait. Check out his talk @APSMeetings at 1:30PM PDT today for more details, or read on for the highlights!

New paper on arXiv today!

With Alex and Mike (@spacedontwait), we:

1. Show that the definition of orbital eccentricity used in astrophysics simulations differs from that in waveform models.
2. Outline a procedure to ensure consistency!

Exciting to be on @ABC7Chicago this morning and having a chat with @TracyButlerABC7 about one of the best meteor showers of the year…bundle up and find some dark skies tonight to catch the Geminids!

Introducing Pizzicato, a new glitch class identified by our @the_zooniverse volunteers! We think this glitch is due to the violin modes of the @LIGO detectors' mirror suspensions, but the exact cause has yet to be identified https://t.co/1wti2ZlaGr #CommunityScience

Newest paper w/ @astrobel_rs, Kyle Kremer, @EHThrane, & @LaskyPaul where we investigate selection effects for eccentric black hole mergers & the implications that an eccentric detection (or lack thereof) has on the fraction of mergers coming from clusters! https://t.co/gK514q6KNZ

@astroenrico @NASA @spacewsarah Thanks Enrico!!

A photo of our team from our annual meeting at @NUCIERA. We looked back over four(!) years of the project and discussed potential plans for the future

Mike Zevin: "Science is something that always interested me as a kid. I somehow learned what supernovae were, and refused to go to sleep because I was too scared that the Sun was going to go supernova when I was sleeping."
