Sentences with phrase «gravitational radiation emitted»

In the last years he has focused in the emerging area of Gravitational Wave Astronomy, which consists in the detection and analysis of gravitational radiation emitted by cosmic sources (core collapse supernovae, compact binary coalescence, etc.).

Not exact matches

As the black holes drew near in a deepening pit of spacetime, they also churned up that fabric, emitting gravitational radiation (or gravity waves, as scientists often call them).

Merging black holes, spiraling white dwarfs, and spinning neutron stars all emit gravitational radiation.

This event happens as the system emits gravitational radiation, tiny ripples in the fabric of space - time.

Einstein@Home will search for a specific pattern of periodic gravitational waves produced by tiny spinning objects called neutron stars, some of which turn into pulsars that emit rapid blips of radiation.

The black holes in each of these binaries will, over eons, emit gravitational radiation, lose orbital energy and spiral inward, ultimately merging into a larger black hole like the event LIGO observed.

The disk heats up due to the enormous gravitational pull by the black hole and emits intense radiation.

Two neutron stars merging together generate a gravitational wave signal and have also been predicted to emit electromagnetic radiation.

This was the first time electromagnetic radiation — light, gamma rays and radio waves — was detected from the same object that emitted gravitational waves.

The existence of black holes can be proven because matter is greatly accelerated by the gravitational force and thus emits particularly high - energy radiation.»

While its presence can be inferred from the gravitational pull it exerts on visible matter, the fact that it does not emit or absorb any radiation makes it next to impossible to detect.
