by Eleonora CAPOCASA (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan) Three 2nd generation gravitational-wave detectors (the two LIGO and Virgo) are about to come online again, in an upgraded version, for a new data-taking period. The increased sensitivity of the network is expected to result in a higher rate of detections with louder signals so as to enter a mature phase of […]

After more than ten years from the beginning of its scientific activity focused on the internal structure of the Sun, which gave an understanding of the power mechanism of our star with unprecedented detail, the Borexino experiment at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratories publishes on October 25th on Nature the compendium of its results on solar neutrinos. With […]

ISIS-OG GdR meeting: open questions in signal analysis for gravitational astronomy The first observations of advanced LIGO and Virgo mark the advent of a new gravitational astronomy, with great potential for discovery in many fields from fundamental physics to astronomy and cosmology. This will be developed in the coming years during future and longer-term data collection using new ground-based instruments, […]

The SEIS seismometer was turned on to its nominal channel for the first time in space since InSight took off on May 5. This is to perform a health test of the instrument during the cruise phase. All data received on Earth are consistent with those expected and InSight therefore brings a perfectly healthy instrument to Mars. Since the […]
