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]
Educational observatory This is a partial list of astronomical observatories ordered by name, along with initial dates of operation (where an accurate date is available) and location. The list also includes a final year of operation for many observatories that are no longer in operation.
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]).
Einstein Telescope, a European third-generation gravitational wave detector; Einstein@Home, a volunteer distributed computing program one can download in order to help the LIGO/GEO teams analyze their data; GEO600, a gravitational wave detector located in Hannover, Germany; Holometer; North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves
LISA Pathfinder was a proof-of-concept mission to prove that the two masses can fly through space, untouched but shielded by the spacecraft, and maintain their relative positions to the precision needed to realise a full gravitational wave observatory planned for launch in 2035.
A gravity map is a map that depicts gravity measurements across an area of space, which are typically obtained via gravimetry. Gravity maps are an extension of the field of geodynamics . Readings are typically taken at regular intervals for surface analysis on Earth . [ 1 ]
Gravitational waves (GW) are small disturbances in space-time, caused by the motion of masses, if the third time derivative of the mass quadrupole moment is non-zero. These waves are very weak, such that only the strongest waves, caused by the rapid motion of dense stars or black-holes, have a chance of being detected.
