Are Gravitational Waveforms Ready For Next-Generation Gravitational-Wave Detectors? A Comic Book

Exciting news! My first-author paper on gravitational waveform accuracy requirements for current and next-generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors is almost finished and will be coming out soon!

To celebrate, I created a comic book inspired by this research. 🎨📖 The comic dives into the fascinating world of gravitational waves, exploring how precise waveform models are essential for unraveling the mysteries of black hole and neutron star mergers.

📡 What’s in the comic?

An introduction to gravitational waves: ripples in spacetime from merging compact objects 🌌

How waveforms act as nature’s signature, encoding the secrets of black holes and neutron stars ✨

Why accuracy is critical for detectors like Advanced LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA and next-generation observatories like the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer 🔭

I wanted to make this topic accessible and engaging for everyone—scientists, science enthusiasts, and students alike!

Stay tuned for the release of the paper. 🚀
