Gravitational waves poised to be pinpointed by gamma ray burst
... before we can start rewriting the textbooks we'll need to see more bursts associated with gravitational waves from black hole mergers," said Valerie Connaughton, a GBM team member at the National Space, Science and Technology Center in Huntsville...

A recently discovered stellar black hole could be the most massive yet, say astronomers
.... Furthermore, if the black hole is spinning or the disk is inclined, the black hole mass will become still larger. The existence of such massive black holes has been confirmed via gravitational wave detections due to black hole merger, but they have...

Gravitational waves proved Einstein right, now they may help prove him wrong too
... the initial gravitational wave burst was detected, and this indeed appears to be the case. To date, three black hole merger events that have produced gravitational waves have been captured by LIGO and this information appears in all...

New search shows no link between gravitational waves and gamma-ray bursts
... and it was gravitational waves produced by two colliding black holes nearly 1.3 billion light years away that were detected ... either a binary neutron star or a neutron star-black hole merger was found. For more information on this research, see...

A new way to search for gravitational waves?
... marked not only the first ever detection of a gravitational wave (GW) but also the first observation of a binary black hole merger. LISA on the other hand, has just been given the go ahead by ESA after the successful completion...
