Gravitational Waves

PhD research of Benjamin Miller

The breakthrough discovery of the first gravitational wave signal in September 2015 (Nobel Prize 2017) has opened a new window to the Universe. Analyses of the signal waveforms during the initial inspiral, merger and final ringdown phase provide crucial information about the properties of superheavy stellar objects.

Joint work with Samaya Nissanke, Christoph Weniger, and Patrick Forré.
