ARC Centre of Excellence contributes to international effort in gravitational science The new ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav), based at Swinburne University of Technology, is already making significant discoveries, with researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence announcing their involvement in the detection of gravitational waves from the death spiral of two neutron stars in October 2017. For the first time, scientists measured the violent death spiral of two dense neutron stars via gravitational waves, and observed the subsequent fireball appear in the heavens. Never before have we known exactly where in the Universe gravitational waves originate from, or been able to see the colossal events that created them.
