CSUF gravitational-wave researchers are working with a multidisciplinary, international team to identify suitable U.S. locations that could accommodate the next-generation detector to observe the universe.
Cal State Fullerton physicists are on the forefront of a new discovery of gravitational waves from two compact cosmic objects not seen by scientists before.
With the next-generation Cosmic Explorer observatory, Cal State Fullerton gravitational-wave scientists shift research focus toward future discoveries of the cosmos.
Faculty, students, alumni and donors celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Nicholas and Lee Begovich Center for Gravitational-Wave Physics and Astronomy (GWPAC). Alumni share how their curiosity about the cosmos led them to study gravitational-wave science at CSUF.
Cal State Fullerton is receiving a nearly $1.2 million National Science Foundation grant to prepare underrepresented students in the emerging field of gravitational-wave astronomy and create a pathway to enter a doctoral program at one of three Ph.D.-granting partner universities.
After Alex Gruson graduates next week with a master’s degree in physics from Cal State Fullerton, she is launching her career in the space industry.
For the first time, gravitational-wave scientists have detected two collisions between a black hole and a neutron star, with Cal State Fullerton researchers involved in interpreting the novel cosmic events. The extreme mergers made splashes in space that sent gravitational waves rippling across at least 900 million light-years to reach Earth. In each case, the […]
Titan first generation college student, took his research on gravitational waves into his graduate studies at MIT.
A team of students and faculty members in Cal State Fullerton’s Nicholas and Lee Begovich Center for Gravitational-Wave Physics and Astronomy (GWPAC) contributed to the latest detection and analysis of more gravitational waves that the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) and European Virgo detectors have observed over the past six months.
Faculty and staff garnered close to $9 million in funding during the first quarter of the university’s 2020-21 fiscal year.
