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 observations match the theory’s predictions.  Since its publication, over...

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, which manages the computing, storage and network systems at EGO and...

Hunting for continuous emission of gravitational waves from neutron stars

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.
