Centre of Expertise — Gravitational waves
This centre of expertise includes experts from the major institutes operating the Virgo interferometer and groups which develop the analysis and interpretation of gravitational-wave (GW) observations. It aims to address the growing interest of a broader scientific community in using low-latency alerts for candidate GW events, exploiting gravitational-wave data and interpreting them in a multi-messenger context. The centre will provide expert support on:
- GW sources and detection perspectives
- Low-latency GW triggers and follow-up
- GW data analysis, detection and parameter estimation
