Network Detects 161 New Gravitational Waves During O4b Run
The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA network detected 161 gravitational wave events during its latest run, bringing the total observed to 390.
An international network of gravitational wave detectors has identified 161 new cosmic collisions during its latest observing run, expanding the catalog of known events and initiating a new era for statistical astronomy. The updated Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog-5.0, representing all observations to date, includes data from April 10 to January 28, bringing the total number of confirmed gravitational wave events to 390 since the first detection in 2015. Scientists were able to distinguish the clearest-ever gravitational wave signal, which they described as hearing a “cosmic bell” across the universe. “The gravitational-wave events accumulated in our catalog have enabled population studies and tests of general relativity with increased precision,” said Leo Tsukada, a postdoctoral research fellow with the Nevada Center for Astrophysics at UNLV.
