When neutron stars merge, things get messy

What happens when the densest objects in the universe collide? A neutron star merger is a cosmic forge that creates heavy elements like gold and platinum, but it also unleashes "messy" gravitational waves and gamma-ray bursts that can sterilize nearby solar systems. We look at the violent physics of a kilonova.

Revealing Gravity Waves

Severe weather — like thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes — can push air upward into a higher layer of the atmosphere and trigger gravity waves. Aboard the International Space Station (ISS), the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) instrument captures these waves by looking for variations in the brightness of Earth’s airglow (above). Recently, when Hurricane Helene hit the southeastern United States, AWE caught a series of gravity waves some 55 miles up, pushed by the storm (below). It’s incredible to see these long-ranging ripples spreading far beyond the heart of the storm. (Video credits: NASA Goddard and Utah State University)

Hurricane Helene’s Gravity Waves Revealed By NASA’s AWE

“On Sept. 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene slammed into the Gulf Coast of Florida, inducing storm surges and widespread impacts on communities in its path. At the same time, NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment, or AWE, recorded enormous swells in the atmosphere that the hurricane produced roughly 55 miles above the ground. Such information helps us better understand how terrestrial weather can affect space weather, part of the research NASA does to understand how our space environment can disrupt satellites, communication signals, and other technology…”

"Astrophysicists present first evidence of gravitational wave ‘background’

Researchers have found the first direct evidence of a “background” of gravitational waves in the universe — a sign that gravitational waves from slowly merging pairs of supermassive black holes, or possibly from the early universe, can be detected from Earth in a background field of low-frequency energy."

Exciting publication 📣!
#MPI_Scientist Yanmichel Morfa @_yanm@mastodon.social et al. studied the horizontal and vertical kinetic energy spectra and their relationships in global #StormResolving simulations from the DYAMOND experiments. His findings highlight the role of #GravityWaves in defining the magnitude of mesoscale vertical motions in the #atmosphere.

Yes. It has concerned me since the advent of the whole B-Mode #Polarisation issue with respect to ancient #GravityWaves/#photon-#baryon oscillations that a whole lot more work is needed to separate out signal from noise in the #CMB. This certainly ruined #AlanGuth's day.
