Hunting for continuous emission of gravitational waves from neutron stars
While Virgo and LIGO have been undergoing upgrades, the data from the early part of the third observing run of the detectors (from April to September, 2019), have been analysed by researchers to look for signs of continuous emission of gravitational waves from rapidly spinning neutron stars. This makes it possible to set new, clear constraints for future searches.
EGO turns 20!
EGO turns 20! On December 11th, 2000, INFN and CNRS founded the European Gravitational Observatory, giving a home to the pioneering Virgo detector.
Fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing-period postponed
Fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing-period postponed . The LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA collaborations have declared that, mainly because of COVID-related issues, the fourth observation period, known as ‘O4’, will not begin before June, 2022. The three scientific...
Over 100 black holes detected by Virgo and LIGO in the first run of 2019
The classification and definitive analysis of the 39 events detected by Virgo and LIGO in the third observation period (which ran from April to October 2019) was published today on the ArXiv online archive.
