Astronomy Winter Lecture
Black Hole Hunting with Pulsar Timing Arrays
Dr. Neil Cornish, Physics professor, Montana State University
All lectures begin at 7:00pm, doors open at 6:30pm | Hager Auditorium
Free and open to the public | Sponsored by the SMAS and MOR
The International Pulsar Timing Array is a galactic scale gravitational wave detector designed to detect signals from black holes billions of times more massive than our Sun. The race is now on to make the first direct detection of gravitational waves – will it be by Pulsar Timing or by the LIGO/Virgo laser interferometers?
