The Advanced LIGO-Virgo collaboration would like to announce the third detection of gravitational waves, confirming the beginning of a new field of astronomy. As with the first two detections, the gravitational waves detected on January 4th, 2017, were emitted by the coalescence of two black holes, with masses of 30 and 20 solar masses respectively, at a distance of three […]

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 […]
