About the Center for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics
The Center for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics helps UM researchers play a prominent role in the exciting and growing field of multi-messenger astrophysics.
Born through the discovery of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), multi-messenger astrophysics is a revolutionary field that unlocks the secrets of the universe by combining observations from gravitational waves with traditional electromagnetic signals like light and radio waves.
The Center of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics helps UM secure external funding, boost recruitment and retention of high-profile faculty and students in the physics and astronomy programs. The center also serves Oxford and the surrounding community through education and public outreach initiatives.
