Message from the Director

I’m writing this from the guest house at one of our overseas partners, the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, after spending a week discussing the science that will flow from the Square Kilometre Array Observatory at its Science meeting in Gorlitz, in the far east of Germany. It is always particularly rewarding to see our talented OzGrav scientists on show, and Ryan Shannon (Swinburne) and Manisha Caleb (Sydney) gave plenary talks that were very well received, along with many contributed talks by our staff and collaborators.

2024 marked the official launch of OzGrav 2.0, a new chapter in our Centre’s journey, supported by $35 million in renewed ARC funding to lead the global charge in gravitational wave discovery and extreme astrophysics through to 2031. I feel very honoured to have led the successful bid and was always very confident because of the hard work put in by the grant-writing team. OzGrav has a lot of genuine contributors, and they worked tirelessly and selflessly on both the proposal and interview.

The science is already flowing rapidly, with 167 publications in our first year that have been cited more than 1,550 times to date. Impressively, over 90% of these peer-reviewed papers appeared in top-tier journals, and over 40 publications were led by OzGrav students and postdocs, highlighting the calibre of our early-career researchers and the strength of our training environment.

OzGrav continues to make major contributions to gravitational wave science, from mirror stabilisation and quantum squeezing, to detection pipelines and theoretical insights. LIGO’s fourth observing run (O4) is shaping up to be its most successful yet, and OzGrav researchers have been at the forefront.

In parallel with our scientific work, we’ve continued to invest in the future of science through education and outreach. This year alone, over 1,200 school students were reached through hands-on programs and engagement activities, while more than 1,300 members of the public took part in events that brought the wonders of our astrophysics to life.

We launched a co-designed Vision and Values framework, created through a collaborative process that involved members across the Centre. These shared values now guide our culture, priorities, and the way we work together as a community.

Equity, diversity and inclusion remain core to who we are. We embedded EDI principles across our operations, exceeded our targets for women in new recruitment, and piloted our first Indigenous Astrophysics Work Experience Program that provides a culturally grounded, transformative experience for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. One of the reasons I was attracted to science was the opportunity to travel, collaborate and learn from different cultures and their people. OzGrav is an incredibly diverse community and we are always keen to celebrate that.

OzGrav has played a central role in establishing ARTIC, the Australian Research Translation and Innovation Consortium, to connect Centres of Excellence with industry and government. This new national initiative aims to bridge the research-to-impact gap and amplify the societal value of fundamental science. The impetus for ARTIC came from OzGrav’s Senior Communications and Engagement Advisor, Diana Haikal, and I’m grateful for her enthusiasm and vision. 

Research translation is already yielding real-world impact, with OzGrav researchers founding Forge Photonics, an ANU spin-out bringing quantum navigation technology into the driverless car sector, and securing competitive grants to apply gravitational sensing to earthquake and tsunami early warning systems.

Our annual retreat and flagship events continue to embody OzGrav’s spirit of curiosity, collaboration, and creativity. Workshops like Ideas to Impact and cross-node initiatives such as the Better Futures Hackathon have further energised our community and highlighted the broader applications of our science.

As we look ahead, OzGrav remains positioned at the forefront of discovery. With the combined strength of our people, partnerships, and vision, we are ready to explore deeper questions, build new collaborations, and shape the future of gravitational wave science. OzGrav is supporting studies to quantify the benefits of developing an Australian gravitational wave detector.

On a personal note, I was honoured to receive the 2024 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science, an accolade that reflects not just personal recognition, but the depth and quality of collaborations I’ve been fortunate to be part of over the past decades, particularly within OzGrav and the broader gravitational wave community. OzGrav’s reputation was undoubtedly a factor in securing this award, so I am indebted to everyone in it, especially our flawless admin team led by Chief Operating Officer Dr Yeshe Fenner, who enables me to explore the Universe by absorbing a lot of bureaucratic obstacles. 

Finally, our US LIGO detectors are under extreme funding pressure with proposed cuts that would greatly constrain our science in future runs. OzGrav has existed in an incredible epoch of human history, where new lights have been shone on the distant Universe, enabling scientific breakthroughs. We can’t afford to go backwards. I would implore all of you to advocate for the continued investment in science and international collaboration, which builds bridges between cultures with the universality of scientific pursuits.

Yours sincerely,

Prof Matthew Bailes

OzGrav 2.0 Launch: A ‘new era of astrophysics’

The next phase in the world-leading ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery, dubbed ‘OzGrav 2.0’, launched in April 2024 at Swinburne University of Technology. The Centre has secured an additional $35 million from the Australian Government to extend its operations until 2031, underscoring its remarkable achievements in this exciting new field of science.

Since its inception in 2017, OzGrav has positioned Australia at the leading edge of international research and discovery in gravitational waves, ushering in a new epoch of astrophysics.

Led by Swinburne’s Professor Matthew Bailes, OzGrav has already achieved many significant accomplishments, all the while emphasising its dedication to equity, education, and research.

Professor Bailes notes that the initial investment in OzGrav “contributed to the birth of a new era of astrophysics. This reinvestment will put us at the forefront of transformational scientific discoveries well into the next decade,” he said.

“By improving our advanced gravitational wave detectors, we will be able to understand more about our universe, probing neutron stars and black holes and mapping the cosmic evolution of the universe.”

Professor Bailes was notably awarded the 2023 Shaw Prize in Astronomy – widely known as a precursor to the Nobel Prize – for the discovery of fast radio bursts and the 2024 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science.

Stellar achievements and global collaboration

Since the centre’s inception, OzGrav has made groundbreaking discoveries, including measuring the violent death spiral of two dense neutron stars via gravitational waves – the first time a cosmic event had been observed and measured in both light and gravitational waves.

Another highlight was OzGrav scientists making a major breakthrough in quantum physics, by smashing quantum noise limits using pioneering squeezed light technology.

OzGrav members were jointly awarded the 2020 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science for their critical contributions to the first direct detection of gravitational waves, over a century after being first theorised by Einstein in his general theory of relativity.

Empowered by new funding

The new funding from the Australian Research Council will enable OzGrav to continue making breakthrough discoveries in gravitational wave science, deliver impactful outreach and develop the next generation of graduates over the next seven years.

This will enable:

• The discovery of new sources of gravitational waves and extreme electromagnetic events
• Testing the boundaries or Einstein’s theory of general relativity in the strongest gravitational fields in the universe, using black holes and pulsars
• Understanding ultra-dense matter through the observation of neutron stars and their mergers
• Mapping the cosmic evolution of the universe using gravitational waves and fast radio bursts

Headquartered at Swinburne University of Technology, OzGrav is a national collaboration between the Australian National University, Monash University, the University of Adelaide, the University of Melbourne, the University of Queensland, the University of Sydney, and the University of Western Australia.

It works with collaborators across the world, including CSIRO in Australia; NASA, MIT and Caltech in the US; and European partners such as the European and French Space Agencies.

Australian researchers give weight to NASA neutron star study

A neutron star close to Earth is spinning as fast as a blender. Known as a millisecond pulsar, it is rotating at 174 times per second but much of its characteristics have remained a mystery. Now, thanks to almost 30 years of observations from Murriyang, CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope, we know its mass. And that’s the key to knowing so much more.

In a series of three papers accepted for publication in Astrophysical Journal Letters, a global group of scientists describe how Murriyang together with NICER (Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR), NASA’s X-ray telescope on the International Space Station, have accurately measured the mass and radius of this nearby neutron star.

According to the Australian lead researcher on the project Dr Daniel Reardon, from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) and Swinburne University of Technology, a neutron star is made of extreme matter on the brink of becoming a black hole.

“Being able to measure its mass and radius tells us how squeezable neutron stars are and how matter behaves inside their dense core, which is denser than the nucleus of an atom,” he said.

Particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider, are also used to study matter at its extremes, but these experiments fail to predict the behaviour of the unique matter in the cores of neutron stars. This means neutron stars are some of the best laboratories for physics. Measuring their masses and sizes is a way to get new insights into fundamental nuclear physics.

NICER is on a mission to study neutron star interiors by detecting and mapping X-ray emission from million-degree hot spots on the surface of the star. Dr Reardon, the OzGrav team, and other researchers using radio data from Murriyang, owned and operated by CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, provided the mass of the pulsar, a key part of the NICER mission to measure the radius.

Dr Reardon has been observing this neutron star since he was a student ten years ago.

“There were researchers studying the same pulsar with Murriyang for twenty years before me. It’s important that we have long-term data on the star to get accurate information,” he said.

This is part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) collaboration to monitor a set of pulsars over long timescales.

Dr Andrew Zic (CSIRO), Primary Investigator of the PPTA project, says the collaboration’s precise measurements of pulsars with Murriyang has produced highly valuable datasets for many projects.

“This has been made possible by regular upgrades to Murriyang, which has meant that our PPTA data have consistently been of world-leading quality, as seen in this work,” Dr Zic said.

By compiling and analysing this large data set, researchers are getting closer to detecting gravitational waves with pulsars. Dr Reardon and the team used this data to support the NICER mission in a novel way.

“At CSIRO’s Parkes Observatory we have been tracking – for decades – tiny (microsecond) delays in the arrival times of pulses sent out the neutron star, caused by space compressing due to the mass of its white-dwarf companion star,” Dr Reardon said.

Space is stretched and squashed by the mass of objects, which is described in Einstein’s theory of gravity. The microsecond delays are predicted by the theory and the detailed information collected over many years allowed the team to accurately calculate the mass of both the dwarf star and the pulsar.

With the mass confirmed, the NICER team could then calculate the radius of the pulsar from their data. This helps build a picture of the matter making up a neutron star.

Understanding the matter will allow scientists to better predict the gravitational wave signatures created when neutron stars collide and collapse into black holes. Neutron star collisions release a burst of gravitational waves in an enormous explosion called a kilonova, which can be seen by many telescopes, including Xray telescopes and radio ones.

According to OzGrav’s Dr Anais Möller from Swinburne University of Technology, an expert in searching for these collisions, measuring the mass and radius of pulsars tells us how neutron stars might get ripped apart and what we can expect to see in the resulting kilonova.

Dr Reardon says because this pulsar has a mass similar to a typical neutron star, measuring its mass and radius is crucial for understanding the behaviour of matter at extreme densities.

“This research advances our fundamental understanding of how the Universe operates.”

Australian researchers in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration detected a remarkable gravitational-wave signal

In May 2023, shortly after the start of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a gravitational-wave signal from the collision of what is most likely a neutron star with a compact object that is 2.5 to 4.5 times the mass of our Sun. Neutron stars and black holes are both compact objects, the dense remnants of massive stellar explosions. What makes this signal, called GW230529, intriguing is the mass of the heavier object. It falls within a possible mass-gap between the heaviest known neutron stars and the lightest black holes. The gravitational-wave signal alone cannot reveal the nature of this object. Future detections of similar events, especially those accompanied by bursts of electromagnetic radiation, could hold the key to solving this cosmic mystery. 

“This is the first time we’ve seen a neutron star collide with a black hole where the neutron star could have been shredded to pieces before the collision. If that’s the case, it would have produced some amazing fireworks in the night sky viewable with telescopes around the globe,” says Professor Paul Lasky from Monash University and the OzGrav Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery. 

Although these fireworks were not seen, it does raise interesting prospects for this exciting new field that such an observation could be just around the corner.  

Many OzGrav researchers across Australia, including Prof Lasky, were involved in this exciting discovery. OzGrav is a Centre across eight different Universities that receives funding from the Australian Research Council to perform cutting edge research in gravitational-wave discovery.  

“This detection, the first of our exciting results from the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run, reveals that there may be a higher rate of similar collisions between neutron stars and low mass black holes than we previously thought,” says Dr. Jess McIver, Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia and Deputy Spokesperson of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration.  

The mass gap between neutron stars and black holes 

Before the detection of gravitational waves in 2015, the masses of stellar-mass black holes were primarily found using x-ray observations while the masses of neutron stars were found using radio observations. The resulting measurements fell into two distinct ranges with a gap between them from about 2 to 5 times the mass of our Sun. Over the years, a small number of measurements have encroached on the mass-gap, which remains highly debated among astrophysicists.  

Analysis of the signal GW230529 shows that it came from the merger of two compact objects, one with a mass between 1.2 to 2.0 times that of our Sun and the other slightly more than twice as massive. While the gravitational-wave signal does not provide enough information to determine with certainty whether these compact objects are neutron stars or black holes, it seems likely that the lighter object is a neutron star and the heavier object a black hole. Scientists in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration are confident that the heavier object is within the mass gap.   

Gravitational-wave observations have now provided almost 200 measurements of compact-object masses. Of these, only one other merger may have involved a mass-gap compact object – the signal GW190814 came from the merger of a black hole with a compact object exceeding the mass of the heaviest known neutron stars and possibly within the mass gap.  

“While previous evidence for mass-gap objects has been reported both in gravitational and electromagnetic waves, this system is especially exciting because it’s the first gravitational-wave detection of a mass-gap object paired with a neutron star,” says Dr. Sylvia Biscoveanu from Northwestern University. “The observation of this system has important implications for both theories of binary evolution and electromagnetic counterparts to compact-object mergers.” 

The fourth observing run with more sensitive detectors 

The highly successful third observing run of the gravitational-wave detectors ended in spring 2020, bringing the number of known gravitational-wave detections to 90. Before the start of the fourth observing run O4 on May 24, 2023, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA researchers made improvements to the detectors, the cyberinfrastructure, and the analysis software that allow them to detect signals from further away and to extract more information about the extreme events in which the waves are generated.  

Just five days after the launch of O4, things got really exciting. On May 29, 2023, the gravitational-wave signal GW230529 passed by the LIGO Livingston detector. Within minutes, the data from the detector was analyzed and an alert (designated S230529ay) was released publicly announcing the signal. Astronomers receiving the alert were informed that a neutron star and a black hole most likely merged about 650 million light-years from Earth. Unfortunately, the direction to the source could not be determined because only one gravitational-wave detector was observing at the time of the signal. 

The fourth observing run is planned to last for 20 months including a couple of months break to carry out maintenance of the detectors and make a number of necessary improvements. By January 16, 2024, when the commissioning break started, a total of 81 significant signal candidates had been identified. GW230529 is the first of these to be published after detailed investigation. 

Resuming the observing run 

The fourth observing run resumed on April 10, 2024 with the LIGO Hanford, LIGO Livingston, and Virgo detectors operating together. The run will continue until mid-November 2025 with no further planned breaks in observing. The sensitivity of the detectors should be slightly increased after the break.  

While the observing run continues, LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA researchers are analyzing the data from the first half of the run and checking the remaining 80 significant signal candidates that have already been identified. By the end of the fourth observing run in February 2025, the total number of observed gravitational-wave signals should exceed 200.

CSIRO telescope detects unprecedented behaviour from nearby magnetar

Researchers using Murriyang, CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope, have detected unusual radio pulses from a previously dormant star with a powerful magnetic field.

New results published in Nature Astronomy describe radio signals from magnetar XTE J1810-197 behaving in complex ways.

Magnetars are a type of neutron star and the strongest magnets in the Universe. At roughly 8,000 light years away, this magnetar is also the closest known to Earth.

Most are known to emit polarised light, though the light this magnetar is emitting is circularly polarised, where the light appears to spiral as it moves through space.

Dr Marcus Lower, a postdoctoral fellow at Australia’s national science agency – CSIRO, led the latest research and said the results are unexpected and totally unprecedented.

“Unlike the radio signals we’ve seen from other magnetars, this one is emitting enormous amounts of rapidly changing circular polarisation. We had never seen anything like this before,” Dr Lower said.

Dr Manisha Caleb from the University of Sydney and co-author on the study said studying magnetars offers insights into the physics of intense magnetic fields and the environments these create.

“The signals emitted from this magnetar imply that interactions at the surface of the star are more complex than previous theoretical explanations.”

Detecting radio pulses from magnetars is already extremely rare: XTE J1810-197 is one of only a handful known to produce them.

While it’s not certain why this magnetar is behaving so differently, the team has an idea.

“Our results suggest there is a superheated plasma above the magnetar’s magnetic pole, which is acting like a polarising filter,” Dr Lower said.

“How exactly the plasma is doing this is still to be determined.”

XTE J1810-197 was first observed to emit radio signals in 2003. Then it went silent for well over a decade. The signals were again detected by the University of Manchester’s 76-m Lovell telescope CSIRO Australia’s National Science Agency 2

at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in 2018 and quickly followed up by Murriyang, which has been crucial to observing the magnetar’s radio emissions ever since.

The 64-m diameter telescope on Wiradjuri Country is equipped with a cutting edge ultra-wide bandwidth receiver. The receiver was designed by CSIRO engineers who are world leaders in developing technologies for radio astronomy applications.

The receiver allows for improved measurements of celestial objects, especially magnetars, as it is highly sensitive to changes in brightness and polarisation across a broad range of radio frequencies.

Studies of magnetars such as these provide insights into a range of extreme and unusual phenomena, such as plasma dynamics, bursts of X-rays and gamma-rays, and potentially fast radio bursts.

Slow-spinning radio neutron star breaks all the rules 

Most collapsed stars fully rotate in seconds. This one takes nearly an hour.  

Australian scientists from the University of Sydney and Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, have detected what is likely a neutron star spinning slower than any other ever measured.  

No other radio-emitting neutron star, out of the more than 3000 discovered so far, has been discovered rotating so slowly. The results are published in Nature Astronomy. 

Lead author Dr Manisha Caleb from the University of Sydney Institute for Astronomy said: “It is highly unusual to discover a neutron star candidate emitting radio pulsations in this way. The fact that the signal is repeating at such a leisurely pace is extraordinary.” 

This unusual neutron star is emitting radio light at a rate that is too slow to fit with current descriptions of radio neutron star behaviour. This provides new insights into the complex life cycles of stellar objects. 

At the end of their life, large stars about 10 times the mass of the Sun use up all their fuel and explode in a spectacular blast we call a supernova. What remains is a stellar remnant so dense that 1.4 times the mass of our Sun is packed into a ball just 20 kilometres across.  

Matter is so dense that negatively charged electrons are crushed into positively charged protons and what’s left is an object made up of trillions of neutrally charged particles. A neutron star is born. 

Given the extreme physics with which these stars collapse, neutron stars typically rotate mind-bendingly fast, taking just seconds or even fractions of a second to fully spin on their axis. 

Now, astronomers at the University of Sydney and CSIRO have discovered a compact object repeating its signal with a comparatively leisurely period just shy of one hour. 

The discovery was made using CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope on Wajarri Yamaji Country in Western Australia. 

The ASKAP radio telescope can see a large part of the sky at once, which means it can capture things researchers aren’t even looking for. CSIRO scientist Dr Emil Lenc, co-lead author on the paper, said they wouldn’t have found this strange object if it wasn’t for ASKAP’s unique design.  

“We were simultaneously monitoring a source of gamma rays and seeking a fast radio burst when I spotted this object slowly flashing in the data. Three very different things in one field-of-view,” he said.  

“ASKAP is one of the best telescopes in the world for this sort of research, as it is constantly scanning so much of the sky, allowing us to detect any anomalies.” 

The origin of such a long period signal remains a profound mystery, although two types of stars are prime suspects – white dwarfs and neutron stars.   

“What is intriguing is how this object displays three distinct emission states, each with properties entirely dissimilar from the others. The MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa played a crucial role in distinguishing between these states. If the signals didn’t arise from the same point in the sky, we would not have believed it to be the same object producing these different signals,” Dr Caleb said.  

While an isolated white dwarf with an extraordinarily strong magnetic field could produce the observed signal, it is surprising that nearby highly-magnetic isolated white dwarfs have never been discovered. Conversely, a neutron star with extreme magnetic fields can quite elegantly explain the observed emissions.  

While a slow-spinning neutron star is the likely explanation, researchers said they cannot rule out that the object is part of a binary system with a neutron star or another white dwarf.  

More research will be required to confirm whether the object is a neutron star or white dwarf. Either way, it will provide valuable insights into the physics of these extreme objects. 

“It might even prompt us to reconsider our decades-old understanding of neutron stars or white dwarfs; how they emit radio waves and what their populations are like in our Milky Way galaxy,” Dr Caleb said. 

Professor Tara Murphy, leading radio astronomer and head of the School of Physics at the University of Sydney, said: “Until the advent of our new telescopes, the dynamic radio sky has been relatively unexplored. Now we’re able to look deeply, and often, we are seeing all kinds of unusual phenomena. These events give us insights into how physics works in extreme environments.”

OzGrav Researchers Develop Cryogenic Test Facility for Next-Generation Gravitational-Wave Observatories

Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) and the Australian National University (ANU) have developed a cryogenic test facility that allows researchers to test new materials for future ground-based gravitational-wave observatories. The new facility is designed to achieve ultra-sensitive measurements of material properties at cryogenic temperatures. These tests are necessary to improve the sensitivity of future gravitational-wave detectors like the proposed LIGO Voyager and the Einstein Telescope.

The cryogenic infrastructure is specifically designed to cool an optical test cavity incorporating a silicon cantilever to 123 K (-150°C). This temperature is significant because it is where the coefficient of thermal expansion for silicon crosses zero, effectively minimising thermo-elastic noise and thermal distortions. Silicon’s superior thermal properties and reduced mechanical loss at cryogenic temperatures make it an ideal material for use in advanced gravitational-wave observatories. These future detectors aim to surpass current observatories, such as LIGO and Virgo, by operating at much lower temperatures to reduce thermal noise.

This advanced design allows the test cavity to be cooled to 123 K within 41 hours and maintained at that temperature indefinitely with a thermal stability of ±1 millikelvin. A detailed thermal model of the system was developed to optimise its performance, giving careful consideration to radiative heat transfer and conductive cooling. Measurements of thermal noise induced displacement from the silicon cantilever approach 10⁻¹⁶ m/√Hz across critical frequency ranges. This level of precision is essential for investigating materials and designs that could be incorporated into next-generation observatories. These highly accurate measurements are only possible due to the facility’s ability to reduce external noise interference.

Lead researcher Dr Kapasi explained, “This new facility represents a significant advancement in cryogenic technology, allowing us to measure broadband displacement noise and thermal properties of silicon at unprecedented levels of precision. It provides a crucial experimental platform to inform the development of future gravitational-wave detectors.”

The cryogenic test facility has broader applications beyond gravitational-wave science. It can also be used to study the thermal noise characteristics of new mirror coatings and materials at cryogenic temperatures. These coatings are vital for enhancing the performance of optical systems in scientific instruments. The paper, published in Review of Scientific Instruments, highlights the first results from the facility, including displacement noise measurements and long-term stability tests that reach the benchmarks required for testing the performance of silicon. The findings underscore the potential of crystalline silicon and cryogenic technology to transform the field of gravitational-wave astronomy. This development reaffirms OzGrav’s position at the forefront of gravitational-wave research and engineering. By addressing key challenges in reducing thermal and mechanical noise, the research provides a foundation for more sensitive gravitational-wave observatories in the future.

Mapping Ripples in a Cosmic Ocean: New Gravitational Wave Maps Reveal Hidden Black Holes and Cosmic Structure

The study also produced the largest ever galactic-scale gravitational wave detector and found further evidence of a “background” of gravitational waves: invisible yet incredibly fast ripples in space that can help unlock some major mysteries of the universe.

This international effort, conducted with the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, includes three studies published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Together, these works offer new insights into the universe’s most massive black holes, how they shaped the Universe, and the cosmic architecture they left behind.

Lead author for two of the papers and a researcher at OzGrav and Swinburne, Dr Matt Miles, says the research opens new pathways for understanding the universe that we live in.

“Studying the background lets us tune into the echoes of cosmic events across billions of years,” Dr Miles explained. “It reveals how galaxies, and the universe itself, have evolved over time.”

The MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array, an international experiment which uses the MeerKAT Radio Telescope in South Africa, one of world’s most sensitive and cutting-edge radio telescopes, observes pulsars and times them to nanosecond precision. Pulsars—rapidly spinning neutron stars—serve as natural clocks, and their steady pulses allow scientists to detect minuscule changes caused by passing gravitational waves. This galactic-scale detector has provided an opportunity to map gravitational waves across the sky, revealing patterns and strengths that challenge previous assumptions. Lead author for one of the studies and a researcher at OzGrav and Monash University, Rowina Nathan comments “it is often assumed that the gravitational wave background will be uniformly distributed across the sky.” Miss Nathan explains “the galactic-sized telescope formed by the MeerKAT pulsar timing array has allowed us to map the structure of this signal with unprecedented precision, which may reveal insights about its source.”

Key findings:

Unprecedented gravitational wave signal

The study uncovered further evidence of gravitational wave signals originating from merging supermassive black holes, capturing a signal stronger than similar global experiments, and in just one-third of the time.

“What we’re seeing hints at a much more dynamic and active universe than we anticipated,” Dr Miles said. “We know supermassive black holes are out there merging, but now we’re starting to ask: where are they, and how many are out there?”

Detailed gravitational wave maps with unexpected hotspots

Using the pulsar timing array, the researchers constructed a highly detailed gravitational wave map, improving upon existing methods. This map revealed an intriguing anomaly – an unexpected hotspot in the signal that suggests a possible directional bias.

“The presence of a hotspot could suggest a distinct gravitational wave source, such as a pair of black holes billions of times the mass of our Sun,” said Miss Nathan. “Looking at the layout and patterns of gravitational waves shows us how our Universe exists today and contains signals from as far back as the Big Bang. There’s more work to do to determine the significance of the hotspot we found, but this is an exciting step forward for our field.”

These findings open up exciting questions about the formation of massive black holes and the Universe’s early history. Further monitoring with the MeerKAT array will refine these gravitational wave maps, potentially uncovering new cosmic phenomena. The research also has broad implications, offering data that may aid international scientists in exploring the origins and evolution of supermassive black holes, the formation of galaxy structures, and even hints of early universe events.

With continued work using the MeerKAT array and plans to better understand the pulsar network and gravitational wave signal, researchers aim to refine the map of the gravitational wave background and verify the underlying cosmic structure. “In the future, we aim to understand the origin of the gravitational wave signal emerging from our data sets. By looking for variations in the gravitational waves across the sky, we’re hunting for the fingerprints of the underlying astrophysical processes”, adds Kathrin Grunthal, a researcher from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy and a co-author of one of the studies.

“By looking for variations in the gravitational wave signal across the sky, we’re hunting for the fingerprints of the astrophysical processes shaping our universe.”

ANU invention aims to get driverless cars on the road

An invention developed at labs at the Australian National University could transform the way driverless cars safely navigate our streets.

Physicists at the ANU have set up a company to commercialise their work. They believe their idea will dramatically bring down the cost of “autonomous vehicles”, and so make a mass market much more reachable.

ANU physicist Chathura Bandutunga said the company he and his colleagues have formed, Forge Photonics, has received serious interest from two car companies.

The essence of their idea is that driverless cars need very exact systems of navigation. They need to be able to “see” exactly where they are in relation to other objects – including pedestrians and other cars on the road. But the equipment to do that at the moment is very expensive.

Dr Bandutunga went back to the basics of the machinery -particularly a gyroscope – and redesigned it from scratch. He said that the result was a gyroscope which was very accurate but a fraction of the cost of existing ones.

Gyroscopes are already used in submarines and aircraft to show the exact position of the vessel or plane on the Earth – but they are very expensive. Dr Bandutunga believes the ANU gyroscope can do the job at an affordable price – and that would make driverless vehicles much more commercially viable.

The way ideas which come from the publicly-funded ANU are turned into money-making ventures involves attracting big money from outside investors. The usual deal is that the investors get a cut of any profits and some also goes back to the ANU.

In this case, two groups are backing the commercialisation of the ANU idea: venture capitalists IP Group and superannuation fundHostplus.

The federal government has also put $200,000 into the project to help it become commercial.
“Self-driving cars need to know where they are, otherwise they can crash and cause damage, injuries and death,” IP Group head Eeshan Kulkarni said.

“Current navigation technology at a level that provides the desired degree of safety is uneconomical, and the solution developed by theForge team can unlock the potential for widespread adoption.”

The terms of the deal – who gets what money if it’s profitable – are being kept secret.

But the ANU was pleased with the deal linking its publicly-funded work with outside companies.

“I’m delighted that Forge Photonics is embarking on this collaboration with IP Group and Hostplus,” the ANU’s deputy vice-chancellor Lachlan Blackhall said.

“This partnership highlights the critical role of fundamental research in addressing important industry challenges and positions us at the forefront of the global autonomous vehicle technology boom. We look forward to the continued success and impact ofForge Photonics over the years ahead.”

Revolutionary Earthquake and Tsunami Detection Research Secures $671K ARC Discovery Grant

The Australian Research Council (ARC) has awarded $671,000 under its prestigious Discovery Projects (DP) scheme to Professor Bram Slagmolen and his team at the Australian National University (ANU). The grant will support cutting-edge research in collaboration with Earth Sciences and Japanese experts to develop advanced sensor technology for early detection of earthquakes and tsunamis.

The Discovery Projects scheme is a flagship program administered by the ARC, providing funding to support fundamental research led by individual researchers or research teams across various disciplines. The scheme aims to advance Australia’s research capability by fostering innovation and delivering outcomes that benefit the nation and the global community.

The project, titled Speed-of-Light Earthquake and Tsunami Detection, seeks to revolutionise existing early warning systems by leveraging sensor technology initially developed for gravitational wave detections. The novel approach focuses on detecting changes in gravity that occur before the arrival of seismic waves, potentially significantly increasing warning times compared to current methods. Professor Slagmolen highlighted the potential life-saving implications of the research “Our work focuses on creating early warning systems that could provide precious seconds for earthquakes and valuable minutes for tsunamis, allowing more time to safeguard lives, halt hazardous activities, and protect vital infrastructure such as power stations and gas pipelines.”

Earthquakes and tsunamis can have devastating consequences for communities and infrastructure in Australia’s Asia-Pacific neighbours, leading to billions of dollars in economic losses and recovery costs. Australia often bears a significant portion of these costs through increased foreign aid and losses to overseas investments by Australian companies.

While effective early warning systems can reduce fatalities and economic losses, current systems rely on models that detect seismic waves after they have already caused significant damage. The new sensor technology developed by Slagmolen’s team will measure prompt elasto-gravity signals, which can be detected earlier than seismic waves, providing critical additional time to mitigate the impact of these natural disasters.

The project will also enhance our understanding of how prompt elasto-gravity signals are generated and propagated during an earthquake or tsunami. Prof Phil Cummins from ANU Research School of Earth Sciences and Geoscience Australia emphasised the groundbreaking nature of this research “This delves into the physics of mass redistribution and immediate gravitational changes that precede seismic waves.

This knowledge will guide the optimisation of the TorPeDO sensor for early detection, fundamentally advancing earthquake and tsunami science.” By refining sensor technology and integrating gravitational signal detection with existing systems, the research can significantly improve the lead times and reliability of earthquake and tsunami warnings, ultimately contributing to greater public safety and resilience.

The project’s success lies in its interdisciplinary approach, combining principles from fundamental physics (gravitational wave detection) with earth sciences (seismology and oceanography). The research naturally fosters collaboration between experts from diverse fields and promotes the sharing of expertise and resources.

This research represents a crucial step forward in global seismic and tsunami preparedness. This innovative approach has the potential to benefit not only Australia’s Asia-Pacific neighbours but also the broader global research community. International collaboration is a key aspect of the research, with strong partnerships established between Australia, Japan, and Switzerland. These partnerships will facilitate data sharing, joint modelling efforts, and the development of advanced technologies for improved early warning systems.

Beyond its immediate scientific and technological contributions, the research underscores Australia’s leadership in applying gravitational sensing technologies to real-world challenges. It also strengthens diplomatic ties within the Indo-Pacific region by fostering collaborative efforts to enhance disaster preparedness. This pioneering project not only holds the promise of saving lives and protecting infrastructure but also solidifies Australia’s reputation as a global leader in innovative research for public safety and disaster mitigation.

This year, the workshop introduced a restructured format designed to enhance engagement and learning. Parallel sessions opened with short tutorial-style introductions, offering foundational context before transitioning into concise, detailed presentations on specialised topics. Each session concluded with a panel discussion, where speakers and other experts participated in an open Q&A session lasting at least 40 minutes. These interactive sessions encouraged dynamic discussions and provided a unique opportunity for attendees — particularly early-career researchers — to gain deeper insights into the complex interplay between mechanics, optics, quantum technologies, and signal extraction techniques.

The format created a vibrant environment where young postdoctoral researchers and students actively engaged alongside senior scientists. Participants noted the value of these sessions in fostering interdisciplinary conversations and collaborative learning. OzGrav was proud to host this important gathering, further supporting the development of gravitational wave science and technology while nurturing the next generation of researchers in this rapidly evolving field.

Future plans

Looking ahead, discussions during GWADW 2024 laid the groundwork for future advancements in gravitational wave detection. Participants identified key areas for further research and development, including improvements in low-frequency sensitivity, thermal noise mitigation, and next-generation detector designs. Building on the collaborative energy of this year’s event, the global gravitational wave community remains focused on driving innovation and preparing for future observation runs.

30 Years of Gravity Research in Australasia: Past Reflections and Future Ambitions conference

On September 2–3, 2024, researchers, academics, and enthusiasts gathered at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra and online to celebrate three decades of groundbreaking gravitational research in Australasia. The event, aptly titled 30 Years of Gravity Research in Australasia: Past Reflections and Future Ambitions, commemorated the founding of the Australasian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation (ASGRG) in 1994, while looking ahead to the next 30 years of discovery.

Reflections on a Legacy

Over the past three decades, Australasia has made significant contributions to the field of general relativity and gravitational research, from advancing theoretical understanding to driving experimental discoveries. The conference’s Past Reflections theme celebrated these milestones, acknowledging the collaborative efforts of mathematicians, physicists, and astronomers across the region.

Charting the Future of Gravitational Research

The Future Ambitions theme explored the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. From the rapidly evolving field of gravitational wave astronomy to the emergence of cutting-edge computational techniques, speakers and attendees discussed how Australasia can continue to lead in this exciting era of discovery. The conference provided a platform for participants to share ideas, propose collaborations, and inspire the next generation of gravitational researchers.

Acknowledgements

The conference would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors, including the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav), the Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics (CGA) at ANU, and a donation from a member of the Society. The event was also supported by the Australian Institute of Physics.

Thank you to the Local Organising Committee, OzGrav’s Sareh Rajabi, Susan Scott, and Karl Wette, for planning and hosting this event.

Looking Ahead

As ASGRG marks its 30th anniversary, the conference served as a reminder of the vibrant research community in Australasia. By reflecting on past achievements and embracing future ambitions, the region remains poised to make even greater contributions to our understanding of the universe.

Key Research Programs

Our research program is divided into three themes – Instrumentation, Discovery, and Physics. Within these themes, we run key programs that are the core science of OzGrav. Each of these key programs is led by one or two of our Chief Investigators, supported in specific projects by more junior members who are given the title “Project Scientist”. Here we summarise the foci of the Key Programs of OzGrav as planned for 2025.

Instrumentation Theme

Key Program: Optimisation

Leaders: Bram Slagmolen + Ju Li

Overall aim: Prepare for the post observing run 4 (O4) break to help install and commission the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) for observing run 5 (O5).

Project: CHETA Gingin Demonstration

Lead: Carl Blair (UWA), Dan Brown (UA)

Aim: Thermal transients in the LIGO detectors reduce sensitivity and calibration uncertainty in the first few hours of each data taking segment. In addition, thermal transients make commissioning the detectors difficult and result in transient parametric instability that sometimes disrupt data taking. In this project we will provide critical demonstrations and manpower to enable the successful completion of the Central HEater for Transient Attenuation (CHETA) project.

In this project we will demonstrate a complete LIGO CHETA system at Gingin in the second half of 2024, with the lasers and stabilisation as proposed for the LIGO detectors. With Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) support we will supply CHETA systems and the manpower for installation to LIGO Livingston for a demonstration of a partial CHETA system where only the input test mass (ITMs) are preheated in Jun 2025.

Outcome:

• Both CO2 laser are now setup and tested at Gingin
• Adding in injection optics for end station CO2
• ITM CO2 working now
• Dan and Sophie visiting Gingin end of Feb to help Hartmann wavefront sensor (HWS) and modelling efforts

Activity Plan:

• Demonstrate the full CHETA concept at the Gingin facility
• Testing CHETA subsystems at UA to demonstrate LIGO requirements
• (With LIEF) Demonstration of partial CHETA system at the 2 LIGO detectors.

Project: Understanding the aLIGO Squeezer Crystal Degradation

Lead: Nutsinee Kijbunchoo (UoA), Sheon Chua (ANU), Terry McRae (ANU) and Peter Veitch (UoA)

Aim:

• Identify the amount of 532nm power required for gray-tracking to manifest in Periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP) crystals used in advanced LIGO (aLIGO) squeezer.
• Identify the reversible/irreversible damage threshold due to gray-tracking.
• Study the rate of PPKTP crystal degradation.
• Identify optimised aLIGO operating parameters.

Outcome: The detectors have been calibrated and meet the minimum sensitivity required for measurements of green light. The basic experimental setup to make absorption measurements of both the required wavelengths (infrared and green) through a test crystal relative to a reference beam has been built. We can now take preliminary, qualitative measurements for green light. The next immediate steps are to control the crystal temperature, get a calibrated measurement for green light and see some qualitative effects for red light.

Activity Plan: We need calibrated plots to quantify green and infrared absorption with intensity for a variety of crystals over time from different suppliers. This is necessary to verify the crystals will meet the increasingly demanding standards of the LIGO observatory quantum noise budget.

Governance

The OzGrav Executive Committee oversees the management, operations, and performance of the Centre across the six collaborating research nodes. Led by the Centre Director, the Centre Executive Committee comprises representation from each node. The Executive receives advice from four OzGrav committees/boards; the Governance Advisory Board, Scientific Advisory Board, Early Career Researcher Committee, and the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee. 

Day-to-day operational matters are managed by the core administrative team, led by the Chief Operating Officer, in consultation with the Centre Directorate (comprising the Centre Director, Deputy Directors, and Chief Operating Officer). 

The Centre’s Governance Advisory Board includes prominent representatives from the Australian education, research, engineering and business sectors. This committee is responsible for advising on OzGrav’s strategic direction, governance and fiscal management, structure and operating principles, performance against Centre objectives, and intellectual property and commercialisation management.  

The role of the OzGrav Scientific Advisory Board is to provide the Centre with independent scientific expertise, advice, and experience from established national centres and leading international laboratories regarding the OzGrav research program.  

The Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee oversees the development and implementation of strategies to enable positive and supportive work environments for all our members, and to promote equity and diversity. The committee has developed an equity and diversity action plan, and regularly reviews and monitors the Centre’s performance against the plan. 

The OzGrav Early Career Researcher Committee represents and supports students and postdocs across the Centre, driving initiatives that foster professional development, networking, mentoring, and inclusion. The committee plays a key role in shaping training programs and creating a positive, connected experience for early career members.  

The Centre makes excellent use of videoconferencing to facilitate communications and collaboration among our dispersed team and committees. Our weekly centre-wide videoconferences have helped galvanise the Centre. These meetings are attended by as many as 100 people each week and give members an opportunity to discuss science and share general updates.
