Detection method
Space Interferometry
Laser interferometry carried out between spacecraft millions of kilometres apart, free of the ground noise that limits Earth-based detectors. It opens the low-frequency gravitational-wave band — the mergers of massive black holes and the whir of compact binaries — that the ground detectors cannot reach. LISA is the leading example.
