We’ll be announcing all the upcoming events shortly, but in the meantime: The European Gravitational Observatory (EGO) in Cascina, home to the Virgo interferometer, will take part on September 25th in the European Researchers’ Night, an initiative promoted by the…

Two large instrumented baffles designed and built by researchers and engineers from IFAE have been successfully installed in the arms of the Virgo detector. The installation marks an important milestone in the ongoing upgrade of the observatory ahead of the next…

The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA Collaboration published today a new catalog of gravitational wave events. A total of 161 events, detected between April 2024 and the end of January 2025, have been added to the collection, bringing the total number of gravitational wave signals…

The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (LVK) detector network has a new trick up its sleeve to improve the instruments’ sensitivity to gravitational waves: it’s called Astrophysical Calibration and it plays a role similar to auto-tune in music production. When a gravitational wave…
