Advanced Virgo in 3D!
Marco Kraan Advanced Virgo
This post is part of a series about quick questions and answers about the Virgo experiment and the science of gravitational waves. Do you have a quick question? Tell us and we will reply! What are the main sources of noise for Virgo? The noise has several origins and can generate spurious signals in the […]
They are many and span several engineering and cutting-edge technologies
Advanced Virgo is the major upgrade of the Virgo detector.
Yes, the nature of these two kinds of waves are completely different, even if the generation “mechanisms” are similar.
This optical configuration of Virgo is called a Michelson interferometer and allows the possibility to unveiling tiny spatial deformations,
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime that propagate throughout the Universe at the speed of light.
Have you ever imagined to dance around a black hole?
