“L’impresa scientifica della rivelazione delle onde gravitazionali e di Virgo è una storia straordinaria – ha dichiarato Stavros Katsanevas, direttore dell’Osservatorio Gravitazionale Europeo – EGO…

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! On December 11th, 2000, INFN and CNRS founded the European Gravitational Observatory, giving a home to the pioneering Virgo detector.

. 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…
