Exciting news released from the @LIGO Collaboration! Congratulations to our @CITA_ICAT - LIGO Group comprised of faculty Reed Essick and Maya Fishbach (@mayaKfish), postdoc Aditya Vijaykumar (@alsogoesbyV), and graduate students Utkarsh Mali and Aryanna Schiebelbein.
We are excited to announce the discovery of #GW231123, a gravitational-wave signal from the merger of two high-mass black holes to form one about 190–265 times the mass of our Sun. #O4IsHere
