The hunt for more evidence of gravitational waves – ripples in spacetime formed by cataclysmic events in the distant universe – will be accelerated with a nearly $2 million National Science Foundation grant awarded to a West Virginia University scientist and her colleagues.
In all, 11 telescopes, including the Green Bank Telescope, spanning nine countries will be utilized for the project, titled “AccelNet-Implementation: The International Pulsar Timing Array.”
