gravitational-wave
Spacetime disturbance signal
Gravitational-wave appears as a modifier describing phenomena related to gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime caused by accelerating massive objects like colliding black holes or neutron stars.
Einstein predicted them; they weren't directly detected until 2015.
gravitational-wave astronomy, gravitational-wave detector, gravitational-wave signal.
The noun form is usually two words: gravitational waves.
