Summary

Dr. Chiara Mingarelli (@gravitate_to_me), a Marie Curie Fellow in gravitational wave astrophysics at Caltech, joins the proceedings to talk about low-frequency gravitational waves, pulsar timings arrays and black hole binary systems with masses that are billions of times that of the Sun. This episode was recorded before LIGO's recent announcements confirming the detection of gravitational waves.

0:00.0	Hey there, probably scientists. Before we get to this week's episode with Dr. Kiara Mangarelli,
0:04.1	just a quick reminder about where this episode fits in with last week's episode. We backlogged
0:09.6	about three or four episodes a month or so ago, and this was one of those. And then after that,
0:13.7	the LIGO findings on gravitational waves came out, which is the reason we had the special
0:18.2	episode last week. So we recorded this before that. And at that time, we didn't know that this announcement was coming.
0:24.8	Our guest, Dr. Karamangarelli, possibly knew that, but didn't reveal that because she's good at her job.
0:30.4	So that's the reason some of the questions might tread on the same ground as what we already covered last week,
0:36.1	and that's the reason that Matt and I are in the dark about so much.
0:40.2	So that's probably more preamble than you need. You can figure this out in your own.
0:43.5	So enjoy this episode that is also about gravitational waves. Welcome to probably science.
0:59.6	My name's Andy Wood.
1:00.7	I'm joined by Matt Kirshan, of course.
1:02.4	Hey, Andy.
1:03.5	With four in a row, four in two days.
1:06.0	Four podcasts in two days.
1:07.2	If you're following the saga, we are now indoors, still.
1:12.2	It's warmer.
1:12.9	The heating's fixed.
1:13.8	It's only an hour after the last one, but the heating guy came, and everything's good.
1:18.7	He did his job.
1:19.3	It worked.
1:19.9	Finally.
