Machine learning method could revolutionise multi-messenger astronomy
Observing binary neutron star mergers is high on the wish list of astronomers. In a study published in the scientific journal Nature, an interdisciplinary team of researchers including ETH Zurich postdoc Maximilian Dax and Professor Bernhard Schölkopf presents a novel machine learning method to analyse gravitational waves emitted from neutron star collisions almost instantaneously – even before the merger is fully observed.
