Gravitational Wave Discovery Echoes CSE Professor’s 1975 Dissertation – CSE News
In his doctoral dissertation at the University of Texas, Austin in 1975, CSE professor Larry Smarr developed a computational method for solving Albert Einstein’s equations of general relativity.
Gravitational Waves Detected! Historic LIGO Success Strikes Chord with Larry Smarr – HPC Wire
The event that created these particular gravitational waves - the spiraling of two black holes into each other about 1.3 billion light-years away (or 1.3 billion years ago)- was the most energetic event ever detected.
Gravitational Waves Detected 100 Years After Einstein’s Prediction – HPC Wire
Larry Smarr's Ph.D. dissertation presaged the announcement of the first detection of gravitational waves created by a merger of two black holes 1.3 billion light-years away.
Degenerate Dwarf Binaries as Promising, Detectable Sources of Gravitational Radiation
A recent preliminary design for a space based laser interferometer indicates that sources of this kind, are potentially detectable. We discuss the characteristics likely to be seen in such an antenna from degenerate dwarf binaries, assuming theoretical birth rates.
