Gravitational Wave Detectors: a new window to the Universe
The LIGO gravitational wave detectors have achieved their designed sensitivity, and are currently in operation. We describe the technology of the detectors , as well as results from the analysis of some of the data collected so far.
متن کاملGravitational-wave astronomy: the high-frequency window
As several large scale interferometers are beginning to take data at sensitivities where astrophysical sources are predicted, the direct detection of gravitational waves may well be imminent. This would (finally) open the long anticipated gravitational-wave window to our Universe, and should lead to a much improved understanding of the most violent processes imaginable; the formation of black h...
متن کاملProgress towards gravitational-wave astronomy
I will review the most recent and interesting results from gravitational wave detection experiments, concentrating on recent results from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC). I will outline the methodologies utilized in the searches, explain what can be said in the case of a null result, what quantities may be constrained. I will compare these results with prior expectations and discuss the...
متن کاملListening to the universe with gravitational-wave astronomy
The LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) detectors have just completed their first science run, following many years of planning, research, and development. LIGO is a member of what will be a worldwide network of gravitational-wave observatories, with other members in Europe, Japan, and—hopefully—Australia. Plans are rapidly maturing for a low frequency, space-based gravit...
متن کاملNeutrino Astronomy: A New Window to the Universe
Neutrino astronomy offers the possibility to look into the interior of astrophysical objects. This advantage over the observation in classical astronomy in various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum goes along with a difficult detection of neutrinos. Pioneering experiments already have seen the sun and the supernova 1987A in the light of neutrinos. This offers the prospects to be able to l...
