Scientists Release the Largest Gravitational Wave Catalog Ever

34 min7 juli 2026
The University of Glasgow has released the Gravitational Wave Transient Catalogue 5.0, the largest collection of gravitational wave detections to date, featuring 390 cosmic events, including 161 newly discovered black hole mergers.

The catalog includes the strongest gravitational wave signal ever recorded, improves measurements of the universe's expansion rate, and provides new evidence for second-generation black holes formed through previous mergers. By analyzing hundreds of events instead of isolated discoveries, astronomers are gaining unprecedented insights into the evolution of the universe's most extreme objects.
