Gravitational waves from black holes swallowing neutron stars.
Scientists from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA have detected gravitational waves generated over 900 million light-years away by the merging of a neutron star with a black hole, broadening the field of gravitational wave astronomy to another astrophysical system.
The preliminary report has been published in Astrophysical Journal Letters: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ac082e
