@schnedan@social.tchncs.de The LIGO Scientific Collaboration is made up of scientists from many countries, working together at institutions around the globe. We work hand-in-hand with Virgo and KAGRA, who are also wonderfully international. We are very proud of our history of working across borders together.

10 years ago today, our discovery paper was published in Physical Review Letters

https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102

It has gone on to be highly cited. But it has also had an impact outside of academia—its #Altmetric score is in the top 1000 of all papers ever

We are pleased to announce our discovery of #GW241011 and #GW241110

Both come from binary black holes where one black hole is much larger than the other. The larger black holes have large spin. Could these black holes have formed in a previous merger?

LIGO members have gone on to many varied careers, including computational linguistics.

In the #LIGOMagazine Lucía Santamaría told us about working on machine translation to convert text from one language to another. "My time in LIGO was extremely rewarding, both personally and professionally."

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration will greatly miss our friend and colleague, Professor Rainer Weiss, whose immeasurable impact on gravitational-wave astronomy will be felt for generations to come

Our thoughts are with Rai's family and friends
