Official | LIGO-India: An advanced gravitational-wave (GW) observatory to be located in India, as part of a worldwide network of GW observatories | #LIGOIndia
- We are elated to announce that on the occasion of National Technology Day (May 12) 2023, the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India @PMOIndia inaugurated the #megascience project LIGO-India! 🎉
- Congratulations ISRO @isro on a successful liftoff! All the best for a smooth lunar landing 😊🚀🌖~ #chandrayaan3 #spacescience #indianscience #moonrover #moonmission #lunarmission #indianlunarmission Video by Gaurav Konde
00:00 - Congratulations @isro on a successful liftoff 🚀🌞🇮🇳👏 LIGO-India wishes Team #AdityaL1 and the institutes involved a successful mission 😊✌️ @IUCAAstro @IIABengaluru @cessi_iiserkol Sky is the limit! 💫PSLV-C57/Aditya-L1 Mission: The launch of Aditya-L1 by PSLV-C57 is accomplished successfully. The vehicle has placed the satellite precisely into its intended orbit. India’s first solar observatory has begun its journey to the destination of Sun-Earth L1 point.
- (1/2) This week you heard about the #newDiscovery of #NSBHmergers by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA! Find out from this poster how such mergers are detected in #GravitationalWaves. (Poster credit: LIGO-India/Rachi Karnik/Srashti Goyal)
- (1/2) Finally in January 2020, a pair of #NSBHmergers (collisions between #blackholes and #neutronstars) were detected by LIGO-Virgo-Kagra. This will be the first detection of a hybrid pair seen in #gravitationalWaves! (Image credit: LIGO-India/Soheb Mandhai)
- Each LIGO detector consists of a giant L-shaped structure with arms 4 km long. A laser beam shines down each arm from the crux of the "L," and mirrors at the ends of these arms reflect the light back.
- (1/2) Why is the #moon an ideal location for furthering the sensitivity of #GWDetectors? Read this engaging article by aspiring #physicist Ravikiran Hegde and #researchFaculty Dr. Karan Jani @AstroKPJ to know more. ligo-india.in/blog34/
- Are you a student motivated to learn about cutting-edge technologies and research opportunities related to #GravitationalWave astronomy? Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics @IUCAAstro is organising a workshop about GW and LIGO-India in Goa from 27 Nov to 1 Dec
- LIGO-India joins LIGO-India Scientific Collaboration in congratulating colleagues from @InPTA_GW, along with @IPTA_GW members @NANOGrav, @EPTAGW, PPTA @CSIRO_ATNF, @APT_GW and CPTA on opening a new window to low-frequency #GravitationalWaves!
- For over a decade, a new type of astronomy has been going on: gravitational wave astronomy.
- Following cabinet approval for the project, a meeting "Science with LIGO-India" was organised at IUCAA during May 3-4. The focus of the meeting was to enhance participation of the Indian scientific community in activities for setting up and operating the LIGOIndia observatory.
- Did you know that there are four lead institutions in the #LIGOIndia project? Find out more about their contributions and the crucial role they play in the project management and execution. ligo-india.in/about/institut…
- Do you want to learn #GravitationalWave data analysis using actual observational quality strain data from LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA? The 5th GW Open Data Workshop is now available as a *free* course!
