The LIGO-India project is a collaboration between LIGO Laboratory and the LIGO-India consortium: Institute of Plasma Research, Gandhinagar; IUCAA (Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics), Pune and Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology, Indore.
In late 2019, LigoLab partnered with Washington-based lab Northwest Pathology to develop TestDirectly, a software tool for facilitating DTC COVID-19 testing during the COVID-19 pandemic. [7] TestDirectly was officially released in April 2020. [ 8 ]
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.
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 ...
LIGO is composed of two different detectors, one in Hanford, Washington and one in Livingston, Louisiana (they are thus separated by around 3000 km); the two detectors have very similar design, with 4 km long arms, although there are minor differences between the two. They were part of the first generation of detectors, and were completed in ...
It was published in 2020 that a gamma-ray burst was detected ~0.5 seconds after the LIGO trigger, lasting 6 seconds and bearing similarities to GRB170817 (such as weakness [most power in sub-100 keV, or soft X-rays) bands], elevated energetic photon background levels [signal exceeding background by less than a factor of 2], and similar ...
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).
Ronald William Prest Drever (26 October 1931 – 7 March 2017) was a Scottish experimental physicist. He was a professor emeritus at the California Institute of Technology, co-founded the LIGO project, and was a co-inventor of the Pound–Drever–Hall technique for laser stabilisation, as well as the Hughes–Drever experiment.
