Incredible coincidence: Fast radio burst detected after gravitational wave event
(ORDO NEWS) — From time to time our detectors here on Earth get a strange signal from outer space. These signals, known as fast radio bursts (FRBs), are very short, only milliseconds long, and are only detectable in the radio spectrum. However, in those milliseconds and at these wavelengths, they can emit as much energy as 500 million suns, and most of them have never been detected again. What they…

An improved model with gravitational wave data
(ORDO NEWS) — The wobbles of binary neutron stars before their merger could have a big impact on the information scientists gather when recognizing gravitational waves. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have demonstrated how these unique fluctuations, caused by the interaction of the tidal fields of two stars as they approach each other, affect observations of gravitational waves. Accounting for these fluctuations could be of great importance for our…
