The LIGO Laboratory, in collaboration with the US National Science Foundation and Advanced LIGO partners from the U.K., Germany and Australia, has offered to provide all of the designs and hardware for one of the three planned Advanced LIGO detectors to be installed, commissioned, and operated by an Indian team of scientists in a facility to be ...
LigoLab provides an LIS & RCM Operating Platform that integrates administrative, technical, and financial operations in a laboratory environment. [15] The platform also enables automation of laboratory processes and combining LIS and RCM workflows. [16]
GW170608 was a gravitational wave event that was recorded on 8 June 2017 at 02:01:16.49 UTC by Advanced LIGO. It originated from the merger of two black holes with masses of + and +. [1] [2] The resulting black hole had a mass around 18 solar masses. About one solar mass was converted to energy in the form of gravitational waves.
LIGO-India is a current project of a single interferometer based in Aundha, India, following a design very similar to LIGO (with support from the LIGO collaboration). It has received approval from the Indian government in 2023, and is planned to be completed around 2030.
The LSC was established in 1997, under the leadership of Barry Barish. [3] Its mission is to ensure equal scientific opportunity for individual participants and institutions by organizing research, publications, and all other scientific activities, and it includes scientists from both LIGO Laboratory and collaborating institutions.
Rana X. Adhikari (born 1974) is an American experimental physicist. [1] He is a professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) [2] and an associate faculty member of the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (ICTS-TIFR).
He is best known for inventing the laser interferometric technique which is the basic operation of LIGO. He was Chair of the COBE Science Working Group. [1] [2] [3] In 2017, Weiss was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, along with Kip Thorne and Barry Barish, "for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational ...
The IndIGO Consortium has spearheaded the proposal for the LIGO-India gravitational wave observatory, in association with the LIGO laboratory in US.In addition to the LIGO-India project, the other activities of IndIGO involve facilitating international collaborations in gravitational-wave physics and astronomy, initiating a strong experimental gravitational-wave research program in India ...
