Sonification | Helena Ubach

In collaboration with Jordi Espuny, we have sonified gravitationally lensed gravitational waves, specifically in the wave optics regime (interference). That means we represent gravitational-wave data with audible sound. For details on the method, you can read the documentation. To head directly to some samples: sonification samples. The project has been presented at The following pages are adapted from here, created by Jordi Espuny. 1. Sonification of a non-lensed gravitational wave: you can hear a sonification of gravitational waves coming from the merger of two black holes, a "chirp". 2. Visualisation of a gravitationally lensed gravitational wave: you can visualize the shape of a gravitationally lensed gravitational wave signal. The source of gravitational waves is a merger of two black holes. 3. Sonification of gravitationally lensed gravitational waves (recorded samples): you can hear the recorded sonifications of some gravitationally lensed gravitational wave signals. The source
