An international team of scientists announced that it has still detected 35 gravitational wave incidents from the universe, record number to date. Thus, the gravitational wave detections that have been made since 2015 increased to a total of 90, when the first such detection became possible, which was announced in 2016, causing a global sensation at the time, while today such detections tend to become commonplace.
Gravitational waves are cosmic “wrinkles” of spacetime caused by violent phenomena, such as supernova explosions (supernova), black hole fusion and neutron star collisions (pulsar).
The new gravitational wave crop, announced by the OzGrav Gravitational Wave Detection Center, includes 32 probes estimated to come from merger of black holes and three probably from collision of a neutron star and a black hole.
All the detections were achieved through the internationally coordinated efforts of the gravitational wave detectors LIGO (USA), VIRGO (Italy) and KAGRA (Japan), as reported by APE-MPE. The first two probes are currently out of order due to their upgrade and are expected to reopen after August 2022, giving new impetus to the new field of gravitational astronomy. As the detectors become more sensitive, it will be possible to detect gravitational waves from other sources, such as supernova explosions.
