Just published in @PhysRevLett! Check out this article by SXS researchers Boyeneni, Wu and Most (@Caltech) on interpreting colliding black holes similar to the attraction of two electric charges

Cranking up the temperature! SXS researchers Hai-Yang Wang, Elias Most and Philip Hopkins (@Caltech) show how hot flows around supermassive black hole binaries with strong magnetic fields alter their feeding behavior. Full results at arxiv.org/abs/2508.16855
Earthquakes on neutron stars?! SXS researchers Louis Burnaz and Elias Most (@Caltech) and Ashley Bransgrove (@Princeton) simulate how these could be detected in signals from very active radio burst transients. Read their results at arxiv.org/abs/2508.18033
@ego_virgo @LIGOLA @LIGOWA @KAGRA_PR A spacetime waltz. Simulations consistent with our 86 most confident new detections, each showing the orbiting components and their emitted gravitational waves youtube.com/watch?v=3B6WKS… 🎬I Markin/T Dietrich/H Pfeiffer/SXS Collaboration #GWTC4 #O4IsHere
Take a look at the biggest black hole merger ever detected!😲🌌‼️ ~10 billion light years from Earth the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory(#LIGO) detected gravitational waves from the merge of 2 massive black holes Credit: SXS Project(black-holes.org)
In particular, as highlighted through Fig. 9 of the paper, while our BBH simulations are generally accurate and long enough (to span the full frequency band) for the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA detectors, this is not necessarily the case for future detectors. 2/n
