I am getting really excited for the GR Amaldi meeting in July. Lots of plans are coming together
Abstract submission deadline is Friday 21 March
Registration is open. We will have a free Early Career Workshop before the main meeting, but places are limited
https://iop.eventsair.com/gr24-amaldi16/
We will have public talks, a reception at the Glasgow Science Centre, and a science ceilidh at the conference dinner! Stay tuned for details on a sci/art exhibit
Inspired by #xkcd (and prompted by @CosmicRami), the types of #GravitationalWave papers.
Tag yourself, I'm no. 2
When the intro starts "We have opened a new window" you know you can skip a couple of paragraphs

Sunday #GravitationalWave candidate #S241110br Analysis updated while I was out buying books!
If real, the source is probably a binary black hole
False alarm rate 1 in 6.7 yr

Exploring the possibility of probing fundamental #spacetime #symmetries via #gravitationalwave #memory
Highlights of #GWTC3: our factsheet picks out some of the most interesting #GravitationalWave candidates from our last observing run. Which is your favourite?
Gravitational-waves provide a new tool for astronomy. What has it taught us so far? Catch up on all the science from #GWTC3 with our science summary, featuring a small selection of some of our most exciting #GravitationalWave candidates
https://www.ligo.org/science/Publication-O3bCatalog/
Our #GravitationalWave catalog has grown rapidly since our 1st detection in 2015. GWTC-1 had 11 probable candidates, GWTC-2.1 had 55, and #GWTC3 has 90!
GWTC-4 will include results from the first half of our on-going observing run (data collected will collect data until 16 January 2024)
Searching our data, we found many #GravitationalWave signals from binaries of black holes and neutron stars. These chirps are shown in this plot by Sudarshan Ghonge & Karan Jani (featured as an Astronomy Picture of the Day https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap211207.html)
All our #GWTC3 data are freely available https://gwosc.org/GWTC-3/ #OpenData #Astrodon
We are excited that our #GWTC3 paper has been published in Physical Review X!
https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.13.041039
This is the catalog of our #GravitationalWave discoveries up to the end of our third observing run in 2020
An international team of #researchers has verified an important property of #blackholes known as the #nohairtheorem using #gravitationalwave observations.
#GravitationalWave astronomy keeps on giving: a new candidate #S230630am
If real, it source is most probably a binary black hole
False alarm rate 1 in 1.3 yr

Awwww! 
BTW: #GravitationalWave GW150914 and GW151012 are good bass drums when played backwards!
#Introduction I'm a scientist with a background in #gravity #theory #physics and #astronomy whose interests have drifted in the direction of #statistics. I'm a Professor of Statisitcs at #RIT and a member of the #LIGO scientific collaboration (currently co-chair of the #ContinuousWaves group). I analyze #GravitationalWave #data to look for signals from rapidly rotating #NeutronStars, especially #ScoX1. I enjoy #Python #Jupyter and #Debian. I also like applying #StatisticalInference to #hockey.
