LIGO-India celebrates 10 years since gravitational wave detection, confirming black hole properties

indianexpress.com

LIGO-India commemorated the 10th anniversary of the first gravitational wave detection, a signal that confirmed key black hole properties. This detection, three times stronger than the initial one, revealed black hole ringdowns and the principle of increasing black hole area post-merger. Scientists from LIGO-India contributed significantly to its analysis. The LIGO-India detector, expected operational by 2030, will enhance global gravitational wave astronomy, with future observations promising deeper understanding of compact binaries.
