Community research · Gravitational Wave Paleontology Lab
Every gravitational-wave event tells a story.
As a Brave Bone Biographer, you will use our tools to investigate the detailed evolutionary history of individual BBH, BHNS, or BNS systems.
You will explore questions such as:
- Did the stars exchange mass?
- Did they survive a common-envelope phase?
- What masses were the stars born with?
- What metallicity environment did they form in?
- How did their orbital separation evolve?
- How long did they take to merge?
You will simulate and analyze individual compact-object binaries and reconstruct their evolutionary pathways from birth to collision.
Join Gravitational Wave Paleontology Lab’s community research group and contribute to real scientific work alongside the researchers who care most about answering these questions.
