Gravitational Waves

Jolien Creighton
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Professor of Physics

“I’ll present a sketch of how gravitational waves are produced and how they are detected. I will use GW150914 – the first gravitational wave to be detected – as a case study to show how these waves were generated by a colliding pair of massive black holes one billion years ago”.

Light refreshments will be served @ 1:30pm EMS E424A.
