Not only @LISACommunity , but first with @NANOGrav for the most massive supermassive black holes — a billion times the mass of the sun
Congratulations to the LVK community on this record achievement! The ton of upgrade work done since O3 really paid off 👏
🎉 We have reached 200 candidates in O4! 🎉
The fourth observing run (O4) of our detector network has had the best performance so far, with more candidates than ever before! We are currently busy analysing all these wonderful data and look forward to sharing results
#O4IsHere
Today we celebrate International Women's Day!

#LISACommunityTalks
The #LISACommunity recently hosted a talk by Philip Lynch on a paper by Philip Lynch, Vojtěch Witzany, Maarten van de Meent, Niels Warburton: "Fast inspirals and the treatment of orbital resonances", here 👉 iopscience.iop.org/article/1… and arxiv.org/abs/2405.21072
>> We describe a procedure for efficiently evolving the system where one averages out all of the short term dynamics when sufficiently far away from a resonance but then switches to resolving the resonant dynamics when close to a resonance. >>
The new lab and clean rooms will be hosted at the Science and Technology Facility Council’s UK ATC site in Edinburgh. This £10 million ESA contract will double UK ATC’s construction capabilities, and build on existing support from the @spacegovuk and its membership of ESA.
The optical benches send and receive the laser beams over a 2.5 Mkm distance between the 3 LISA spacecraft, enabling measurement of distance changes between them with an accuracy of a few trillionths of a metre (picometre). Work on the optical benches has already begun at @ukatc.
The assembly process utilises Robotically Assisted Bonding (RAB), developed by @ukatc and the @UofGlasgow and funded by the @spacegovuk.
#LISAMission
£10 million investment in new space facilities for LISA in Scotland!
New lab spaces will be constructed at the @ukatc to assemble the optical benches for #LISAMission.
Today is Zero Discrimination Day. Help us to spread awareness for global efforts that challenge discriminatory practices, laws, and norms.
