Glimpsing harmonics in gravitational waves
By David Dvorak on April 27, 2020
Astrophysicists, including a team at UBC, have observed gravitational waves from the collision of two black holes with distinctly different masses, dubbed GW190412. This discovery gives us a glimpse of subtle harmonics in gravitational wave signals for the first time. These harmonics not only allow improved tests of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, they also […]
