The Cosmic Tuning Fork: Einstein Telescope Will Catch Neutron Star Resonances
When two neutron stars, compressed to the size of a city, approach in their final dance, the spacetime around them comes alive, emitting gravitational waves.
The Shadow Theater of LIGO: A Neural Network Fabricating Deceptive Glitches
The LIGO and Virgo detectors catch gravitational waves from mergers of black holes and neutron stars. But among the cosmic signals, their sensitive arms are constantly crossed by shadows — short-lived noise artifacts, glitches, that stage a true shadow theater.
