The European Gravitational Observatory (EGO) is a consortium established to manage the Virgo interferometer and its related infrastructure, as well as to promote cooperation in the field of gravitational wave research in Europe.
The Virgo interferometer is managed by the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO) consortium, which was created in December 2000 by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN). [6]
Einstein Telescope (ET) or Einstein Observatory, is a proposed third-generation ground-based gravitational wave detector, currently under study by some institutions in the European Union. It will be able to test Einstein 's general theory of relativity in strong field conditions and realize precision gravitational wave astronomy.
Virgo is hosted by the European Gravitational Observatory; the broader Virgo Collaboration, gathering 940 members in 20 countries, operates the detector, and defines the strategy and policy for its use and upgrades.
The International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) is a multi-institutional, multi-telescope collaboration [1] comprising the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA), the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav), the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) in Australia, and the Indian Pulsar Timing Array Project (InPTA [2] [3]).
Gravitational waves were first predicted in 1916 by Einstein, who was trying to understand how gravity moves in the cosmos. Learn about gravitational waves and how a Tri-Cities observatory spots ...
In 2013, ESA selected “The Gravitational Universe” as the theme for its third large-class (L3) mission under the Cosmic Vision program. This decision set the foundation for LISA’s selection as the space-based gravitational wave observatory planned for launch in the 2030s. [10] [11] In January 2017, LISA was proposed as a candidate mission ...
The Big Bang Observer (BBO) is a proposed successor to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) by the European Space Agency.The primary scientific goal is the observation of gravitational waves from the time shortly after the Big Bang, but it would also be able to detect younger sources of gravitational radiation, like binary inspirals.
