eLISA/NGO (evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna/New Gravitational Wave Observatory) will add a new sense to our perception of the Universe - for the first time we will observe e.g. Black holes and Neutron stars directly and gain unique information about the behaviour, structure and early history of the Universe.

Professor Bernard Schutz has played a major part in developing fruitful collaborations between theoretical and experimental astrophysicists worldwide, particularly in the field of gravitational wave detection.

Neutron stars are quite unique: the material they are made of is packed much more densely than conventional matter. They rotate extremely fast about their own axis, emitting radiation in the process, so they are often visible as pulsars in the radio spectrum. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Hanover, working as part of the international PALFA Collaboration, and with the help of participants in the Einstein@Home project, have now discovered a pulsar accompanied by a white dwarf – a burnt-out star. The researchers want to weigh the pair, using what is known as the Shapiro effect. (Astrophysical Journal Letters, 732/1 L1)

How neutron stars merge - first accurate calculation of the last orbits of binary systems of neutron stars. AEI scientists described for the first time new numerical methods for the calculation of gravitational wave signals.

An article describing an important progress in modelling the last orbits of binary systems of neutron stars has been recently published in Physical Review Letters

HANNOVER/Germany & PASADENA, Calif. — The US National Research Council (NRC) has strongly recommended the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) as one of NASA's next two major space missions, to start in 2016 in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). LISA will study the universe in a manner different from any other space observatory, by observing gravitational waves. The recommendation was announced today in a press conference at the Keck Center of the National Academies in Washington, D.C.

The open access physics journal Living Reviews in Relativity, published by the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam, has received its first impact factor of 10.600 in the 2009 Journal Citation Reports released by Thomson Reuters on June 17, 2010. The unique review journal already ranks second worldwide in the category Physics, Particles & Fields.
