LIGO catches a 225-solar-mass black-hole smash-up

Gravitational waves reveal most massive black hole merger ever detected — one 'forbidden' by current models

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015, its twin detectors based in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, made the first ever detection of gravitational waves.

Gravitational shockwave: LIGO catches a 225-solar-mass black-hole smash-up

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely forged by earlier smash-ups fused into a 225-solar-mass titan, GW231123. The record-setting blast strains both the sensitivity of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA and the boundaries of stellar-evolution theory,

Gravitational Wave Detected From Largest Black Hole Merger Yet: "It Presents A Real Challenge To Our Understanding Of Black Hole Formation"

A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far observed merging. The result is larger than theoretical models allow through straight-forward means,

Can Gravitational Waves Rewrite the Rules of Black Hole Formation?

Black holes this massive are forbidden through standard stellar evolution models.” And with those words, Cardiff University’s Mark Hannam, a member of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration, ...
