This animated graph plots the frequency and the signal strength of gravitational waves from a simulated dataset of galactic ultracompact binaries. Colors indicate frequencies between about 0.001 and 0.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This animated graph plots the frequency and the signal strength of gravitational waves from a simulated dataset of galactic ultracompact binaries. Colors indicate frequencies between about 0.001 and 0.01 hertz, with lighter colors representing higher frequencies. The dashed curve represents the expected sensitivity limit of the LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) mission now being designed by ESA (European Space Agency) in collaboration with NASA for launch in the 2030s.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center

Metadata

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
