Gravitational - wave astronomy is expected to observe more such events in the near future, both in terms of gravitational - wave signals and in the more traditional freqGravitational - wave astronomy is expected to observe more such events in the near future, both in terms of gravitational - wave signals and in the more traditional freqgravitational - wave signals and in the more traditional frequency ranges.

The Nottingham experiment was based on the theory that an area immediately outside the event horizon of a rotating black hole — a black hole's gravitational point of no return — will be dragged round by the rotation and any wave that enters this region, but does not stray past the event horizon, should be deflected and come out with more energy than it carried on the way in — an effect known as superradiance.

More events needed to pin down gravitational waves backstory.

And in a preprint paper we submitted immediately after Advanced LIGO's February 2016 announcement of its first gravitational - wave discovery (https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.05234)-- published this past March — we noted that it had probably detected the merging of such PBHs and estimated the rate of events expected in our scenario, which seems to agree with more recent observations.

Because this angle dictates how much gravitational - wave energy is emitted in Earth's direction, combining polarization with other data allowed researchers to derive a more precise estimate of total energy released by the event and so reduce the error in their distance estimate.

Of more than 100,000 gravitational events a year, only a handful have been singled out from background wave data.

More information: The paper «Primordial black hole scenario for the gravitational wave event GW150914» will appear 28 July 2016 in Physical Review Letters.

The fifth gravitational wave event (GW170817), detected in mid-August 2017, was probably even more important than the first detection because it was the first one whose source also produced electromagnetic radiation we could observe with ground and space - based telescopes.

At around 7 a.m. PDT, a little more than an hour after the gravitational wave arrived at the LIGO observatories, astronomers were notified about the event.
