Conocida como GW190521, esta inusual onda gravitacional podría no ser una colisión en nuestro universo, sino el eco de una ocurrida en otro universo, que llegó hasta nosotros a través de un agujero de gusano. #agujerodegusano #universos #gw190521

Unusual Gravitational Wave Could Indicate a Wormhole Connection
In 2019 LIGO‑Virgo recorded a sub‑0.1 s gravitational‑wave burst (GW190521) from a merger estimated at 142 solar masses, prompting a wormhole hypothesis. Read more: getnews.me/unusual-gravitational-wa... #gw190521 #wormhole #gravitationalwaves

Happy birthday #GW190521! Relive the science of one our biggest gravitational-wave discoveries, and don't feel guilty about having another piece of cake https://cplberry.com/2020/09/02/gw190521/
When we infer the properties of the black hole distribution, we see evidence for some of the heavier black holes, like #GW190521 and GW190519, being merger remnants! *But* this depends upon some important assumptions
We have so far announced #GW190412, #GW190425, #GW190521 and #GW190814 from #GWTC2. This leaves a lot more. Most look like binary black holes (my favourite), but GW190426 (a low significance candidate) could be a neutron star–black hole binary?

#GW190521—the BIG one https://cplberry.com/2020/09/02/gw190521-the-big-one/ @LIGO & @ego_virgo observe the formation of an intermediate-mass black hole and a black hole in the theorised pair-instability mass gap

An ode to #GW190521, 150 solar in gifs. You ready? 1/
… not all black holes will come from these clusters, and that will dilute the odds. Have we found a second-generation black hole? Maybe. It's exciting enough to keep us working to improve our calculations so that we can figure it out. Careful science takes time #GW190521
Applying our analysis to #GW190521, we find about even odds for a second-generation black hole if all binaries come from globular clusters, and better odds if they come from bigger clusters like nuclear star clusters. However…
Recently, @ChaseBKimball led work to find second-generation black holes by simultaneously inferring the mass and spin distribution of first-generation black holes. Using this, is #GW190521 a second-generation merger? https://twitter.com/cplberry/status/1257379372882890754
For a black hole to find a partner, it needs to be somewhere like a globular cluster with lots of other black holes around. However, when two black holes merge, they get a kick which can be enough to eject them from the cluster #GW190521
How else could you form an 85 solar mass black hole? One option is by merging two smaller ones. If second-generation black hole went on to form a new binary we could see it with gravitational waves. However, finding a new partner can be tricky #GW190521
#GW190521 is remarkable because the larger black hole in the binary has a mass of around 85 solar masses. This is not expected from our understanding of how stars collapse in supernovae. Could the black hole be formed in another way?
#GW190521 shows that intermediate-mass black holes do exist! We must keep searching for them to determine if there is one family of black holes or if there is a mixture of black holes forming in different ways
One of the big mysteries in astronomy (pun intended always) is where supermassive black holes come from? Do they grow from stellar-mass black holes, or do they have distinct origins. Observations (or lack thereof) of intermediate-mass black holes will help us understand #GW190521
#GW190521 is the most massive system observed by @LIGO & @ego_virgo so far. The merger remnant is around 142 solar masses, safely above the threshold to claim the title of an intermediate-mass black hole 🥇
Look how happy this numerical relativity simulation is! #GW190521
