In this edition, we report on the upcoming collaboration between Japan’s Kamioka Gravitational-Wave Detector (KAGRA) with the USA’s Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Europe’s Virgo (page 3); OzGrav researchers Juan Calderon Bustillo (Monash University) and Meg Millhouse (University of Melbourne) investigate the first collision of black holes with unequal masses (page 4); and OzGrav goes on an expedition to South Africa to commission the MeerKAT radio telescope (page 12).
I wish you a safe and relaxed holiday break and look forward to working with you all in 2020.

In this edition, we explore the value of OzGrav’s gravitational wave science in improving self-driving cars and learn about the innovative methods of OzGrav’s Jeff Cooke and Garry Foran to hear the stars. We also cover stories about OzGrav Chief Investigator Ilya Mandel’s Tibetan trip teaching astrophysics to monks; the Zadko Observatory in Gingin, Western Australia; and the possible collision between a black hole and neutron star.
We are fortunate to have a talented team at OzGrav to help showcase our science through our newsletters, annual reports, and graphics like our striking cover image. Enjoy!
August 2019
In this edition of Space Times, Associate Investigator Adam Deller and a team of scientists catch a glimpse into the past, present and future with the measurement of the Hubble Constant; Chief Investigator Jeff Cooke and the the Deeper Wider Faster program reveal more clues about Fast Radio Bursts; and University of Adelaide's 'mini LIGO' dubbed AMIGO demonstrates space-time warping, teaching students of all ages how the Universe works. As the global hunt for gravitational waves continues, OzGrav continues to grow and reach new heights: frequently appearing in the media, collecting prestigious awards and building a strong team.
