Astrophysical interpretation of gravitational waves with space-based observatories.
Research Group:
Gravity Exploration Institute
Gravitational-wave astronomy was pioneered in September 2015 with the first direct observation of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). Read more
It’s a shock! The light side of circumstellar interaction in stellar explosions
Research Group:
Gravity Exploration Institute
Supernovae are catastrophic stellar explosions shaping the visible Universe. They play an important role in the synthesis and distribution of almost all elements and especially heavy elements such as iron, enriching the Universe since the first supernova explosion when the cosmos was metal-free.
