Because Virgo's detector isn't oriented parallel to the LIGO detectors, scientists could study the polarization of the waves — the specific pattern by which they stretch and squeeze spacetime — for the first time.

The result had hinged on the discovery of a curlicue pattern in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background, the Big Bang's relic radiation.

To give their study even more bite, they also look for accompanying patterns in the polarization of the CMB's microwaves, which Planck also mapped.

Gravitational waves from inflation generate a faint but distinctive twisting pattern in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background, known as a «curl» or B - mode pattern.

«Our team hunted for a special type of polarization called «B - modes,» which represents a twisting or «curl» pattern in the polarized orientations of the ancient light,» said co-leader Jamie Bock (Caltech / JPL).

For the density fluctuations that generate most of the polarization of the CMB, this part of the primordial pattern is exactly zero.

For three of the five patterns, «polarization data is the killer thing,» Saadeh says.

The patterns, so - called «B - mode polarization,» are the signature of gravitational waves, or ripples in space - time.

PRIMORDIAL SWIRL The patterns and colors in this visualization represent the polarization and temperature of the cosmic microwave background in a small patch of space, emitted when the universe was about 380,000 years old.

The researchers had seen twirling patterns in the alignment, or polarization, of the first light released into space just 380,000 years after the Big Bang, what's known as the cosmic microwave background.

On Monday, March 17, 2014, BICEP - Keck collaboration, which operates an array of microwave telescopes located at the geographical South Pole, announced the discovery of patterns in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background that could have been generated in the early universe.

The theory is that these photons produced a curling pattern of polarization, called a B - mode, that is causally connected to what happens when an electron interacts with a gravitational wave.

Dust grains in the Galaxy could imprint a similar polarization pattern in the CMB as gravitational waves can, but based on several different predictions of the galactic contribution the researchers concluded that their data was more likely to originate from primordial gravitational waves.

This pattern, basically a curling in the polarization, or orientation, of the light, can be created only by gravitational waves produced by inflation.

The polarization pattern that BICEP2 detected in the CMB could effectively be a snapshot of primordial gravitational waves.
