Kimberly Boddy and Jonathan Nay of The University of Texas at Austin were part of an international collaboration that found oscillating gravitational waves.
An International team of astronomers from India, Japan and Europe has recently published the results from monitoring nature’s best clocks, pulsars using six of the World's most sensitive radio telescopes, including India’s largest telescope, uGMRT. T
Gravitational waves play a cosmic symphony as they pass through our galaxy. Today the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) Physics Frontiers Center released the results of 15 years of data in a set of papers published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. This research is the first evidence of gravitational waves at very low frequencies. The team, comprised of 190 scientists, including SETI Institute researcher Dr. Michael Lam, transformed our region of the Milky Way Galaxy into an immense gravitational-wave antenna using pulsars. NANOGrav's endeavor involved collecting data from 68 pulsars, fashioning a pulsar timing array a distinctive type of detector.
