Pulsar Observations Could Reveal Gravitational Wave Interference From Black Holes
A new study proposes detecting gravitational-wave “beats” using pulsar timing. Researchers from Hirosaki University suggest that interference between waves from supermassive black hole binaries could appear as periodic variations in pulsar signals. The method may help distinguish individual sources from a diffuse gravitational-wave background i...

New Polar Cataclysmic Variable Identified by Astronomers: What You Need to Know
Astronomers have detected ZTF J0112+5827, a newly identified polar cataclysmic variable. This binary system, composed of a white dwarf and a low-mass donor star, features an 80.9-minute orbital period and a strong magnetic field of 38.7 MG. It lacks an accretion disk, with emissions mainly from its accretion stream and magnetic field lines. The sys...

India To Build Massive Observatory 'LIGO' To Detect Gravitational Waves
LIGO-India will significantly enhance scientists' ability to pinpoint the sources of gravitational waves -- ripples in the fabric of space and time -- and answer fundamental questions about the universe, experts say.

Astronomers Detect First Double Helium-Core White Dwarf Gravitational Wave Source
Scientists at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced the detection of J2322+0509, a detached binary white dwarf composed of two helium-core stars with a short orbital period. It is the first gravitational wave source of its kind ever detected.

Edge Of Spiral Galaxies Could Be Rife With Colliding Black Holes: Study
The outskirts of spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way could be crowded with colliding black holes of massive proportions and a prime location for hunting the sources of gravitational waves, a study led by an Indian origin researcher has found.

Nasa's Fermi Telescope Set to Spot Gravitational Wave Sources
Fermi's GBM sees the entire sky not blocked by Earth and is sensitive to X-rays and gamma rays with energies between 8,000 and 40 million electron volts (eV).
