From all of us at @UoBIGWaves many congratulations to Prof. Mike Cruise who's been awarded an OBE. Mike initiated gravitational wave research at @unibirmingham @eps_unibham back in late 90s. Ultimately, if @UoBIGWaves exists, we owe it to him.

Two years ago, leaders of @InPTA_GW , @EPTAGW , @NANOGrav , and the PPTA (@CSIRO_ATNF) signed an agreement to coordinate a synchronous publication of results from their individual PTA data sets. This agreement, known as the “3P+ agreement”, will come to fruition on June 29th.

We teamed up with @EPTAGW and combined our data with theirs for our latest venture! Keep an eye out on this space on 29th June as we coordinate the release of our exciting science results with @nanograv, @CSIRO_ATNF and @ARC_OzGRav and @CPTA

#OTD in 2015, the universe’s gravitational waves, predicted by Albert Einstein a century before, were observed for the first time by @LIGO. The observation led to a new way to study our universe and the 2017 #NobelPrize in Physics for Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish and Kip Thorne.

Quite a crowd of black holes and neutron stars... the universe seems to be pretty efficient in producing these binaries, and now we can routinely detect them! Huge amount of work from so many people at @UoBIGWaves as part of @LIGO @ego_virgo @KAGRA_PR #GWTC3 activities
LIGO@LIGO

We have exciting news! We've just released our new @LIGO @ego_virgo @KAGRA_PR catalog #GWTC3,which includes many more detections from the 2nd part of #O3 and brings our total number of #GravitationalWaves events to 90. Read all about #GWTC3 at ligo.org/detections/O3b…
