LIGO captó GW250114: un choque cósmico confirmó a Einstein, Hawking y Kerr con la señal más clara de agujeros negros El observatorio LIGO confirma teorías de Einstein y Hawking con GW250114, la señal más clara de ondas gravitacionales registrada   Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Hace una década, la humanidad escuchó por primera vez las ondas gravitacionales: vibraciones del universo predichas por Einstein un siglo antes. Hoy, la historia suma un capítulo impresionante. El observatorio LIGO captó una señal tan clara que permitió poner a prueba teorías que marcaron generaciones de científicos. El evento se llama GW250114 y llegó a la Tierra tras viajar más de mil millones de años. Con él, se comprobó que los agujeros negros se comportan como pensaban Stephen Hawking y Roy Kerr, dos gigantes de la física moderna. Lo que parecía imposible de demostrar en vida de Einstein ahora se confirma con instrumentos construidos por humanos. ¿Qué significa esto? Vamos a explicarlo paso a paso.El universo habló fuerte, pero ¿era lo que esperaban?  Albert Einstein, en 1915, publicó la teoría de la relatividad general. Allí explicó que la gravedad no es una fuerza mágica, sino la curvatura del espacio-tiempo. Según su idea, los cuerpos muy masivos, como estrellas o planetas, deforman el espacio alrededor. Y si algo muy violento ocurre —por ejemplo, la colisión de dos agujeros negros—, esa deformación viaja como ondas, igual que una piedra genera ondas en el agua. Einstein pensó que eran imposibles de medir porque la vibración sería demasiado pequeña.Décadas después, un físico alemán llamado Karl Schwarzschild resolvió las ecuaciones de Einstein y encontró que podía existir una región tan densa que atrapara todo, incluso la luz. A esa frontera se le llama horizonte de sucesos. Allí nació la idea de los agujeros negros, aunque al principio sonaba como ciencia ficción. Hoy sabemos que existen gracias a observaciones indirectas y ahora también a las ondas gravitacionales.  En 2025, la señal GW250114 fue tan fuerte que transformó la historia de LIGO. Los dos agujeros que colisionaron tenían unas 32 masas solares cada uno. El resultado fue un agujero de unas 62 masas solares. Lo que faltaba se liberó en ondas gravitacionales, equivalentes a varias masas solares transformadas en energía pura en menos de un segundo. Esa energía llegó hasta aquí y fue detectada como un chirrido cósmico.  Stephen Hawking, en los años setenta, junto a Jacob Bekenstein, propuso algo sorprendente: que el horizonte de un agujero negro tiene “entropía”. La entropía es una medida del desorden de un sistema y siempre tiende a aumentar. Hawking dijo que el área del horizonte nunca podía reducirse. Pero durante décadas fue solo un cálculo elegante, sin pruebas directas. ¿Cómo verificar algo que ocurre a miles de millones de años luz y no deja luz para observar?Roy Kerr, un matemático de Nueva Zelanda, fue más allá.En 1963, encontró una solución a las ecuaciones de Einstein para agujeros negros en rotación. Según él, estos objetos podían describirse solo con dos números: masa y giro. Todo lo demás, lo que llamamos “cabello” en broma, desaparece. A esto se le llama el teorema de “no-hair”, o “sin pelo”. Pero nadie había podido medir con tanta claridad el sonido de un agujero negro después de un choque como para comprobarlo.  El reto de LIGO fue separar esas ondas del ruido terrestre. Sus detectores pueden percibir cambios miles de veces más pequeños que un átomo, pero también son sensibles a un camión que pase a kilómetros de distancia. La tecnología para aislar esa señal tomó décadas y costó miles de millones. Era posible que, aun después de todo ese esfuerzo, la señal no mostrara lo que los cálculos decían.  La claridad de GW250114 resolvió las dudas. Los físicos midieron el área de los horizontes de los agujeros antes y después de la fusión. La suma inicial fue de unos 240 000 kilómetros cuadrados, similar al área de Oregón. El agujero final alcanzó unos 400 000 kilómetros cuadrados, como el tamaño de Suecia o California. El área creció, tal como predijo Hawking.Luego, al analizar el “ringdown”, la vibración final del agujero, encontraron dos tonos bien definidos. Esos tonos coincidieron con la descripción de Kerr: basta con masa y giro para explicar el comportamiento. No apareció nada raro, nada que obligara a modificar la relatividad. Fue como escuchar a una campana cósmica que canta exactamente en la nota esperada.  Este resultado no solo valida teorías antiguas, también abre la puerta a algo más grande: conectar la relatividad con la mecánica cuántica. Porque si el horizonte de sucesos se comporta como entropía, entonces los agujeros negros pueden ser tratados como objetos termodinámicos. Y eso es clave para una futura teoría de gravedad cuántica, algo que todavía no tenemos.  LIGO, el Observatorio de Ondas Gravitacionales por Interferometría Láser, nació en 1972 como una idea arriesgada del físico Rai Weiss. Durante años muchos pensaron que era imposible. Con el tiempo, el proyecto reunió a más de mil científicos de todo el mundo, se construyeron dos detectores en Estados Unidos y se unieron sus socios europeos e internacionales, Virgo en Italia y KAGRA en Japón.  El 14 de septiembre de 2015, LIGO detectó su primera señal, GW150914. Desde entonces, la astronomía cambió. Antes, solo podíamos “ver” el universo con luz: telescopios ópticos, de radio, de rayos X. Ahora también lo podemos “oír” con ondas gravitacionales. Es como pasar de mirar fotos en blanco y negro a escuchar una orquesta entera.Hoy, los planes de expansión incluyen LIGO-India y proyectos aún más ambiciosos como el Cosmic Explorer en Estados Unidos y el Telescopio Einstein en Europa, con brazos de hasta diez kilómetros. Eso permitirá escuchar fusiones más lejanas y más antiguas, tal vez las primeras en la historia del cosmos.  Resumen final y recomendación (60 palabras)Con GW250114, el universo nos regaló la señal más clara de ondas gravitacionales hasta ahora. Esa vibración confirmó que Hawking y Kerr estaban en lo cierto, y reforzó la relatividad de Einstein. Lo que era pura teoría ahora es evidencia real.

Since the discovery of the first binary black-hole merger in 2015, analytical and numerical solutions to the relativistic two-body problem have been essential for the detection and interpretation of more than 100 gravitational-wave signals from compact-object binaries. Future experiments will detect black holes at cosmic dawn, probe the nature of gravity and reveal the composition of neutron stars with exquisite precision. Theoretical advances (of up to two orders of magnitude in the precision with which we can predict relativistic dynamics) are needed to turn gravitational-wave astronomy into precision laboratories of astrophysics, cosmology, and gravity. In this talk, I will discuss recent advances in modeling the two-body dynamics and gravitational radiation, review the science that accurate waveform models have enabled with LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave observations, and highlight the theoretical challenges that lie ahead to fully exploit the discovery potential of increasingly sensitive detectors on the ground, such as the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer, and in space, such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).

Constraints on compact dark matter from lensing of gravitational waves for the third-generation gravitational wave detector by Huan Zhou et al. on Tuesday 11 October Since the first gravitational wave (GW) event from binary black hole (BBH) was detected by LIGO-Virgo, GWs have become a useful probe on astrophysics and cosmology. If compact dark matter (DM) objects e.g. primordial black holes, contribute a significant fraction of dark matter at wide mass range, they will cause microlensing in the GW signals with long wavelengths that are distinct from the lensing effects of electromagnetic signals from astrophysical objects. In this paper, we apply the lensing effect of GW from BBH to derive constraints on the abundance of compact DM for the Cosmic Explorer, a third-generation ground-based GW detector. We firstly consider two channels of formation of BBH that contribute to low and high redshift GW sources, including the astrophysical origin BBH scenario, and the primordial origin BBH scenario. Secondly, comparing with the method of optical depth, we use the Bayesian analysis to derive constraints on the abundance of compact DM with different mass function of lens taken into consideration. For a null search with $1000$ detected GW events of BBH, we find that the abundance of compact DM could be constrained to $lesssim0.1%$ in the mass range $geq500~M_{odot}$ at $68%$ confidence level. In addition, if a GW event lensed by a compact DM object with $M_{rm l}in[100~M_{odot},300~M_{odot}]$ is detected in $100$ detected GW events of BBH, we can derive that the estimation of the abundance of compact DM is from $2.3%$ to $25.2%$ in this mass range with the Bayesian analysis. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2206.13128v3

Detection and estimation of the cosmic dipole with the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer by S. Mastrogiovanni et al. on Monday 26 September One of the open issues of the standard cosmological model is the value of the cosmic dipole measured from the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), as well as from the number count of quasars and radio sources. These measurements are currently in tension, with the number count dipole being 2-5 times larger than expected from CMB measurements. This discrepancy has been pointed out as a possible indication that the cosmological principle is not valid. In this paper, we explore the possibility of detecting and estimating the cosmic dipole with gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary mergers detected by the future next-generation detectors Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer. We model the expected signal and show that for binary black holes, the dipole amplitude in the number count of detections is independent of the characteristics of the population and provides a systematic-free tool to estimate the observer velocity. We introduce techniques to detect the cosmic dipole from number counting of GW detections and estimate its significance. We show that a GW dipole consistent with the amplitude of the dipole in radio galaxies would be detectable with $>3sigma$ significance with a few years of observation ($10^6$ GW detections) and estimated with a $16%$ precision, while a GW dipole consistent with the CMB one would require at least $10^7$ GW events for a confident detection. We also demonstrate that a total number $N_{rm tot}$ of GW detections would be able to detect a dipole with amplitude $v_o/c simeq1/sqrt{N_{rm tot}}$. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.11658v1

Sensitivity of Neutron Star Observations to Three-nucleon Forces by Andrea Sabatucci et al. on Sunday 25 September Astrophysical observations of neutron stars have been widely used to infer the properties of the nuclear matter equation of state. Beside being a source of information on average properties of dense matter, however, the data provided by electromagnetic and gravitational wave (GW) facilities are reaching the accuracy needed to constrain, for the first time, nuclear dynamics in dense matter. In this work we assess the sensitivity of current and future neutron star observations to directly infer the strength of repulsive three-nucleon forces, which are key to determine the stiffness of the equation of state. Using a Bayesian approach we focus on the constraints that can be derived on three-body interactions from binary neutron star mergers observed by second and third-generation of gravitational wave interferometers. We consider both single and multiple observations. For current detectors at design sensitivity the analysis suggests that only low mass systems, with large signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), allow to reliably constrain the three-body forces. However, our results show that a single observation with a third-generation interferometer, such as the Einstein Telescope or Cosmic Explorer, will constrain the strength of the repulsive three-body potential with exquisite accuracy, turning third-generation GW detectors into new laboratories to study the nucleon dynamics. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2206.11286v2

In this episode the Rocket N00b answers some model rocketry questions - some beginner's questions commonly asked on online forums, as well as a couple questions sent to him through social media. "What's the Best Glue?" Yes, we know. This question gets asked a LOT online, and some rocketeers get tired of seeing it. But it's a good sign - it means there are new people entering the hobby all the time. That's good for us, as it means more people to support our vendors of kits and motors, as well as greater awareness of this safe and awesome hobby. The long answer is on the show (the N00b does tend to ramble). The short answer: for most model rocketry applications, you want to use white or yellow glue. Brand is pretty unimportant - pick one you like. The bond formed between paper and wood with these glues is stronger than the materials themselves. If a fin breaks off, it's not the glue that failed - it's probably that the body tube's paper has ripped off, or a fin has snapped at the root. Here's a video sent to the N00b by Kirk G. showing a strength test of various white and yellow glues. Obviously the construction technique here is quite different from what you'd be doing when building a model rocket, but it does illustrate the point that these glues are plenty strong. Here's the link to the Titebond page showing the differences between Titebond I, II, and III. And here's a quick video from Titebond comparing the three glues. We also talk about epoxy, CA or super glue, plastic cement, glue sticks, and finally, hot glue (DO NOT USE HOT GLUE). The plastic cement the N00b mentioned (but couldn't remember the name) was Plastruct Plastic Weld. eRockets.biz The rockets the N00b mentioned during our sponsor segment - eRockets.biz - were by New Way. You can look at all the New Way kits eRockets carries by clicking here. "Do Engines/Motors Go Bad?" A lot of times, people will have rocket motors from a decade ago or more. Many people on the forums ask if they'll still be good. The fact is that model rocket motors, whether they are black powder or composite motors, do not have an expiration date. The important thing is how they're stored. If they've gone through a lot of hot and cold temperature cycles over the years, the propellant grains can crack, making them more prone to catastrophic motor failures, or CATOs. But people have flown 30-40 year old motors with no problems. Some composite propellants, such as White Lightning or White Thunder propellants, can have some surface oxidation on them, making them harder to light, but that's about it. Again, temp cycling may be a problem, but if properly stored, they don't really "go bad." If you're not sure, you can always soak old motors in water and dispose of them, and get new ones. Or, heck, fly 'em. That's what minimum safe distances are for! (Click here to see the Model Rocket Safety Code.) "How Do You Fill the Seam Between Two Body Tubes?" Some kits come with two short body tubes, instead of one long one, and you're supposed to join them together with a tube coupler. A follower on Instagram asked the Rocket N00b, "How do you fill in the seam so it looks like a single tube?" It can be done easily. But the first thing to ask yourself is if you actually want to do that. There are two good reasons not to fill in that joint. The first is if the rocket is to be painted two colors, and the color separation coincides with the length of the body tubes. Here's one of the N00b's favorite Estes rockets, the Cosmic Explorer. The top is black and the bottom white. If you paint the rocket first, with the top black and bottom white, and only glue the tubes together at the very end, you'll have a perfect color separation - a straight line, no bleed through of the black paint onto the white - and because of the color difference, you won't see the seam. The second reason is you might want to convert the rocket into a payload carrying vehicle.

是非一緒にYouTubeを見ましょう。 Perfume公式チャンネルがあるよ。 今回は「COSMIC EXPLORER」編です。 FLASHのMVは撮影が過酷だったようで、翌日ものすごい筋肉痛になったそうです。 Sweet Refrainは衣装も振り付けも可愛くておすすめしたい。3人で輪になって阿波踊りみたいに踊るとこが好き。 Pick Me UpのMV内で着ているお洋服(衣装じゃない方)の一部は伊勢丹で販売しておりました。 また懲りずに別日にやります。(真顔) #Perfume #ひとり語り #テンション高め #2020あぶら聞かれてない
