After the chirp heard ‘round the world, the search is on for coincident astrophysical particle events to provide insight into the source and nature of the era-defining gravitational wave events detected by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration in late 2015. By combining information from gravitational wave (GW) events with the detection of astrophysical neutrinos and electromagnetic … Continue reading The dawn of multi-messenger astronomy: using KamLAND to study gravitational wave events GW150914 and GW151226
