Smart searches for continuous gravitational waves with advanced LIGO

该项目旨在通过使用为移动电话等工程应用开发的智能信号处理方法来探测来自中子星的连续引力波。2015年，激光干涉仪引力波天文台首次直接探测到两个合并黑洞中的爱因斯坦引力波，开启了人类发现的新纪元。该项目预计将推动引力波科学和澳大利亚在其中的作用，并对中子星的起源以及在地球上无法复制的极端重力、密度和磁化条件下的大宗核物质物理产生深刻见解。

This project aims to detect continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars, by using smart signal processing methods developed for engineering applications like mobile telephony. The first direct detection of Einstein's gravitational waves from two merging black holes by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory in 2015 began a new era of human discovery. This project is expected to progress gravitational wave science and Australia's role in it, and generate insights about the origin of neutron stars and the physics of bulk nuclear matter under extremes of gravity, density and magnetisation which cannot be replicated on Earth.
