| Research Summary | There are a large number of black holes, which swallow the light, in the universe. Because they swallow the light, they are basically dark and invisible. However, two black holes rarely merge and emit "gravitational waves", which are space-time distortion. We can discover such black holes through gravitational wave observations. Furthermore, a part of black holes accompany fixed stars, which shine by themselves like the Sun. We can also indirectly discover black holes via observations of such fixed stars. I have theoretically studied how such detectable black holes are formed. Very recently, I try to discover such black holes actively. |
