Sentences with phrase «hole merger produces»

The researchers are lucky to have caught this unique event because not every black - hole merger produces imbalanced gravitational waves that propel a black hole in the opposite direction.

Not exact matches

Physicists concluded that the first detected gravitational waves, in September 2015, were produced during the final fraction of a second of the merger of two black holes to produce a single, more massive spinning black hole.

It was a burbling chirp of gravitational waves produced by the cataclysmic birth of a black hole from the merger of two smaller ones.

The other aspect is that space - time is incredibly stiff: that's why you need a cataclysmic event like the merger of two black holes to produce a distortion that we can measure.

The gravitational waves produced in mergers promised a direct way to find black hole binaries.

But only some of the most massive astrophysical events, such mergers of black holes and neutron stars, can produce gravitational waves strong enough to be detected on earth.

The two signals that have been produced so far came from the collision and merger of two black holes in some remote part of the universe.

The existence of black holes tens of times more massive than our Sun was confirmed recently by the observation of gravitational waves, produced by the merger of pairs of massive black holes, with the LIGO interferometer.

The merger of two black holes, such as the one which produced the gravitational waves discovered by the LIGO Observatory, is considered an extremely complex process that can only be simulated by the world's most powerful supercomputers.

Rodriguez and colleagues used 52 detailed computer models to demonstrate how a globular cluster acts as a dominant source of binary black holes, producing hundreds of black hole mergers over a cluster's 12 - billion - year lifetime.

If the X-ray source was caused by a GRB triggered by the merger of neutron star with a black hole or another neutron star, then gravitational waves would also have been produced..

These mergers produce shock waves, which propagate through the clusters, reaccelerating particles previously accelerated by supermassive black holes in the galactic nuclei.

LISA is tuned to detect lower frequencies and longer wavelengths produced by mergers between black holes millions of times more massive than the sun.

In 2005, astronomers announced that GRB 050709 and GRB 050509B may be have created by collisions involving two neutron stars (more from Chandra X-Ray Observatory) and ESO), but that the presence of a second flare by GRB 050724 was more likely to have been produced by a neutron star's merger with a black hole (ESO).

Black holes in the centers of galaxies could accelerate mergers between objects and produce more ripples in space - time, also known as gravitational waves, a new study suggests.

This awesome video (produced by SXS lensing) shows an actual simulation of the black - hole merger GW150914.

Otherwise unknowable details of some of the universe's most violent events — from neutron star and binary black hole mergers, to supernova explosions and even the Big Bang itself — should be revealed by the tell - tale gravitational waves they produce.
