What happens in neutron star mergers? Complex numerical simulation sheds light on an extreme cosmic process. It took the Japanese supercomputer “Fugaku” 200 days to compute the new model.

Why should you bring gravitational-wave astronomy into school? Proudly supporting a teacher training course, hosted by the German Physical Society (DPG) from 26 to 30 June with some leading minds in the field from QuantumFrontiers lnk.tu-bs.de/P9RpAs @mpi_grav

While we're testing our detectors ahead of #O4 starting next week, we have identified our first interesting candidate #S230518h
If real, the source is most likely a neutron star–black hole binary. Checks of the data quality are underway

Start your day with some black holes! Two recent @MPPhdnetPodcast episodes with @mpi_grav researchers (@lallasberna and F. Ohme @BinaryNr) on different aspects of this topic. 👇
#BlackHoleWeek #Waiting4O4 #O4
Did you hear about “Black Hole Week”? Our host @juliane_vanSch interviewed two scientists who are working in this field, @lallasberna and Dr. Frank Ohme @BinaryNr from @mpi_grav .

Have you ever wondered how large a pair of merging neutron stars actually is? And what happens during such a cosmic collision? Our #MultimediaMonday has some answers for you:

Today's a very special day for us😇- it's our birthday!🎂😀Happy birthday, Max Planck Society! 🤗 75 years ago, on February 26, 1948, the Max Planck Society was founded in Göttingen as the successor organization to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society. #OTD #maxplanck75 #maxplanckhistory

How time flies! Seven years ago today, the first direct detection of a gravitational wave was announced. Since then, a total of 90 signals have been detected and as of May 24, many more should follow. #OTD #GW150914 #O4 #GravitationalWaves

What a nice experience to visit Ofek Birnholtz's group, as I was invited to give a talk at #BarIlanUniversity. It took me a while to find the astrophysics department though. 😆
Can't wait to explore this diverse and beautiful country. ABP

Together with a colleague, I've recorded a few Christmas carols for today's AEI online Christmas party. These are the little things that keep me sane: get a funny costume, find some happy songs and just start playing. 🎶 ABP

Someone must have stopped by my office last night. I'm glad Saint Nicholas is fascinated by #GravitationalWaves, too.

Fantastic day out at the #gravitationalwave detector #GEO600. Impressive to see what's needed to measure small spacetime distortions. We hope the instrument is still intact after so many theorists visiting...

A dazzling cosmic #hourglass is counting down time with #stardust🌟⏳...well, ok not really!😉 It's yet another showstopping photo captured by @NASAWeb - an hourglass-shaped dark cloud surrounding a #protostar - & it makes us feel very poetic about the beauty of the universe!🤗

Time to celebrate the opening of a multi-purpose room at the @mpi_grav in Hannover. A place to come if you need to bring your children to work or to have a quiet place when needed. Big thanks to the #diversity committee for making the institute better.
