What happens in neutron star mergers? Complex numerical simulation sheds light on an extreme cosmic process. It took the Japanese supercomputer “Fugaku” 200 days to compute the new model. ➡️ aei.mpg.de/1053548/unders… 📃 journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… #BinaryNeutronStar
Why should you bring gravitational-wave astronomy into school? Proudly supporting a teacher training course, hosted by the German Physical Society (DPG) from 26 to 30 June with some leading minds in the field from QuantumFrontiers lnk.tu-bs.de/P9RpAs @mpi_grav
While we're testing our detectors ahead of #O4 starting next week, we have identified our first interesting candidate #S230518h If real, the source is most likely a neutron star–black hole binary. Checks of the data quality are underway Circular: gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/33813 1/3

Only 10 weeks until the 4th joint observing run (O4) of @LIGO, @ego_virgo, @KAGRA_PR, and GEO600 begins on 24 May. Up to date info, highlights from the third observing run and our experts – it's all on aei.mpg.de/26370/current-…. #GravitationalWaves #astronomy #Waiting4O4
Today's a very special day for us😇- it's our birthday!🎂😀Happy birthday, Max Planck Society! 🤗 75 years ago, on February 26, 1948, the Max Planck Society was founded in Göttingen as the successor organization to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society. #OTD #maxplanck75 #maxplanckhistory
How time flies! Seven years ago today, the first direct detection of a gravitational wave was announced. Since then, a total of 90 signals have been detected and as of May 24, many more should follow. #OTD #GW150914 #O4 #GravitationalWaves

What a nice experience to visit Ofek Birnholtz's group, as I was invited to give a talk at #BarIlanUniversity. It took me a while to find the astrophysics department though. 😆 Can't wait to explore this diverse and beautiful country. ABP
Hey everyone, we just posted a brief interview about my time at the AEI Hannover @mpi_grav and in the binary merger group @BinaryNr. If you want to learn more about my story and where life goes next, you can read it here: aei.mpg.de/993864/gravita…
Together with a colleague, I've recorded a few Christmas carols for today's AEI online Christmas party. These are the little things that keep me sane: get a funny costume, find some happy songs and just start playing. 🎶 ABP youtu.be/DqF09qLrA-E
Someone must have stopped by my office last night. I'm glad Saint Nicholas is fascinated by #GravitationalWaves, too. FO
Fantastic day out at the #gravitationalwave detector #GEO600. Impressive to see what's needed to measure small spacetime distortions. We hope the instrument is still intact after so many theorists visiting... FO
A dazzling cosmic #hourglass is counting down time with #stardust🌟⏳...well, ok not really!😉 It's yet another showstopping photo captured by @NASAWeb - an hourglass-shaped dark cloud surrounding a #protostar - & it makes us feel very poetic about the beauty of the universe!🤗
Time to celebrate the opening of a multi-purpose room at the @mpi_grav in Hannover. A place to come if you need to bring your children to work or to have a quiet place when needed. Big thanks to the #diversity committee for making the institute better. FO
