Einstein is still right, relativity passes the gravitational wave test (for now)
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration published a new, more accurate, test of Einstein’s theory of general relativity using their clearest gravitational wave signal yet: GW250114. In all tests, the...
Goodbye Antonella
EGO and the entire Virgo Collaboration mourn the loss of Antonella Bozzi, a key figure for Virgo since its construction. She joined EGO in 2001 and, since 2009, had been head of the IT Department,...
EGO and Virgo reorganize and create the VirgoLab
The European Gravitational Observatory (EGO), the institution that hosts the Virgo detector near Pisa (Italy), and the Virgo Collaboration have been undergoing a reorganization to tackle the new...
LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA complete the richest observation run to date
Today the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration announces the completion of the fourth observation campaign (called O4) of the international network of gravitational wave detectors. Launched...
LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA observed “second generation” black holes for the first time
A pair of very special black hole mergers, detected just one month apart in late 2024, is improving how scientists understand the nature and evolution of the most violent deep-space collisions in...
Ten years of gravitational waves
On September 14th 2015, ten years ago, a signal arrived on Earth that was generated by a pair of black holes. After spiralling around each other at impressive speeds, they had merged, releasing an...
