Astrophiz 45: Gravitational Waves - Dr Angel Lopez-Sanchez
b'This week will be remembered as the \\u2018first light\\u2019 of the emerging science of Gravitational Wave Astronomy. To explain this breakthrough we speak with research astronomer, science communication and outreach officer Dr. \\xc1ngel L\\xf3pez-S\\xe1nchez from the AAO, the Australian Astronomical Observatory, which played a key role in detecting and verifying radio wavelength observations of the neutron star kilonova collision which sent both electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves from this nearby event 130 million years ago.\\n\\nThen we cross to Adelaide to speak with Dr Ian Musgrave to discover \\u2018What\\u2019s Up Doc\\u2019 \\u2026 what\\u2019s up in the morning and evening sky and in \\u2018Ian\\u2019s Tangent\\u2019 he gives us the skinny on the recent ring system discovery and the fine prospects of catching some Orionid Meteor from Halley\\u2019s Comet this year.\\n\\nIn the news: There is no other news this week! It\\u2019s wall to wall Gravity Waves and Neutron Star Kilonovae and how your bling was created. Enjoy!'
