From Physics Magazine:

“Scientists have devised a way to use current gravitational-wave detectors to observe permanent deformations of spacetime caused by certain supernovae.”

Graduate Student Colter Richardson is the lead author on the PRL that inspired this highlight. Fellow graduate student Michael Benjamin is among the co-authors, along with Professor Anthony Mezzacappa.

Read the full story.

This research was also featured as a National Science Foundation story and a highlight at phys.org and Physics World.
