Advanced Virgo + Day on May 31, 2018

A French Advanced Virgo + day is organized on May 31 in Paris (ENS, 24 rue Lhomond). It will be an opportunity to present the instrumental evolutions envisaged for Advanced Virgo, as well as the science that will then be accessible and the evolution of the data analysis that will be necessary. This day is open to all those who […]

Tiny changes in Earth’s gravitational field could help predict tsunami’s size

For several years now, the APC Virgo Group has been involved in studying the possible synergies between geophysics and terrestrial gravitational wave detectors. Geophysical phenomena cause disturbances of “Newtonian” gravity. If these are not gravitational waves, common interests, especially on measurement techniques, bring the two communities closer together. The studies published in Nature Communications in 2016 (Montagner et al.) And […]

Publication : Prompt gravity signal induced by the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake

A modification of the earth’s gravitational field produced during a seismic rupture was first detected during the earthquake of Tohoku-Oki, which occurred on March 11, 2011 with magnitude 9.0. This work is the result of an international collaboration involving researchers from the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP, IPGP / CNRS / UPD / Reunion University) and the […]
