First X-ray Detection of a Gravitational Wave Source: Chandra Scientist Interviews
Description:
In these clips, four astronomers discuss the latest result in which NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, along with many other telescopes, detected light from a gravitational wave source for the first time. These scientists represent the many who worked very hard since the source's discovery on August 17, 2017, to make this result happen. This discovery is both historic and significant, and it represents a new era of astrophysics. Scientists: Wen-fai Fong, Daryl Haggard, Raffaella Margutti, Eleonora Troja.
