Perturbations in the neutron star may be sending a constant wash of gravitational waves through space . Courtesy Gabriel Pérez DÃaz , SMM IAC Posted on January 31, 2023 January 31, 2023 by Carolyn Collins Petersen Soon We’ll Detect Extreme Objects Producing Gravitational Waves Continuously The cosmic zoo contains objects so bizarre and extreme that they generate gravitational waves . Scorpius X-1 is part of that strange collection . It’s actually a binary pair : a neutron star orbiting with a low-mass stellar companion called V818 Scorpii . The pair provides a prime target for
