Numerical relativity simulations
Simulation: Gravitational waves from eccentric compact binaries – October 21, 2021
Available from: Thursday, October 21, 2021 | Time: 12:00 PM CET | Length: 00:01:37
Description: This computer simulation demonstrates the effects of residual orbital eccentricity, orbital precession and asymmetric mass distribution of inspiraling binary black holes. It was created in the framework of the dissemination and public deliverable activities of COST Action CA16214 – "PHAROS: The multi-messenger physics and astrophysics of neutron stars".

Content: An interview with Mátyás Vasúth for the live popular science programming block 'Ma este' was aired on the Hungarian national television channel M1. He discussed the first direct detection of a signal from the collision of two neutron stars, which was made by the pair of US-based LIGO detectors and the Europe-based Virgo detectors on 17 August 2017, shortly after Virgo detector joined the LIGO detectors in the search for gravitational waves.
