PASADENA, California, April 8 -- The California Institute of Technology issued the following news:
In May 2023, shortly after LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) turned back on for its fourth run of observations, it detected a gravitational-wave signal from the collision of an object, most likely a neutron star, with a suspected black hole possessing a mass that is 2.5 to 4.5 times more than that of our Sun. This signal, called GW230529, is intriguing to resea . . .
