New research from Monash Astrophysicists shows how next-gen gravitational-wave detectors will revolutionise our understanding of neutron stars. They could measure neutron star radii with 10x better precision than LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA! 🌌🌠 #GravitationalWavesshorturl.at/hRMxZ

It has been, somewhat unbelievably, just over seven years since we detected #GW170817#GravitationalWaves [Original post on mastodon.scot]
