Straight to the source: the LIGO-Virgo global network of interferometers opens a new era for gravitational wave science

E3: Geophysics and gravitational wave interferometric detectors, Exploratory Project, I10: From evolving binaries to the merging of compact objects, News

  A fourth gravitational-wave signal coming from the merger of two stellar mass black holes located about 1.8 billion light-years away was detected on the 14th of August 2017, at 10:30:43 UTC. GW170814 is the first event observed by the global 3-detector network, including not only the two twin Advanced LIGO detectors but the Advanced Virgo detector as well. Following […]

Cassini “Grand Final”: the end of the mission

E1 : Formation of dunes and climate on Titan, Exploratory Project, I12 Multi-wavelength & Multi-Physics Planetary Peeling, I6: From dust to planets, Interface Project

On September 15, 2017, the Cassini probe that has been in orbit around Saturn since 2004 will complete its mission, dipping towards the planet to the rings in the upper layers of its atmosphere where it will be consumed by the forces of friction. A final phase called by the Nasa “Grand Finale”, which will lead the probe to areas […]

New UnivEarthS projects in 2017

E9 Low energy astrophysics with KM3NET, Exploratory Project, I10: From evolving binaries to the merging of compact objects, I11: COR2DISC, Interface Project, News, Spotlight!, V3: In situ cosmogenic dating of extraterrestrial surfaces, Valorization Project

Following the scientific committee of 28 and 29 November 2016, proposals for new projects were examined by the Executive Board. The scientific committee represents an important moment in the life of Labex, where the probabilities of producing new significant results, both in terms of science and impact, are estimated for the overall program. For the year 2017, UnivEarthS has selected […]
