Gravity waving to us

David Jones

Nature, 1998, vol. 393, issue 6680, 24-24

Abstract: Gravity can bend light, distorting the images of astronomical objects on the sky. Daedalus wonders whether this might be used to detect gravitational waves by training a big telescope on a binary neutron star, and watching the variation in sources behind it. Once we've learned to extract the effects of gravitational waves, otherwise invisible binaries might be discovered in this way.
