In a new paper published on @Nature @GSSI_LAQUILA, @INFN_ and @mediainaf researchers announce the discovery of high-energy gamma-rays emitted by a neutron star merger. The signal was found in data from the Large Area Telescope instrument on @NASAFermi

ecco: ho letto questo articolo su @Internazionale e mi pare di aver capito qualcosa (non tutto, qualcosa) di cosa sta succedendo in Russia, grazie @marziogmian https://t.co/NimtC6V6Pl

[EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @ego_virgo]

Virgo, @LIGO and @KAGRA_PR announce the discovery of black hole and neutron star pairs. These systems were predicted by astronomers several decades ago, but had never been observed until now. https://t.co/3jQjSykZQG

Ornella Juliana Piccinni, Virgo member and @INFN_ researcher, is one of the winners of the Italian Edition of the L'Oréal-Unesco Award For Women and Science 2021! Her research project is dedicated to the modelling and identification of gravitational signals produced by magnetars

A very nice story from @LIGOWA about that time when ravens disturbed (but ultimately helped improve!) gravitational wave science🙂Thanks to @keita_kawabe and @LIGO for sharing it!

How many neutron star mergers are there in the universe? According to the data of the first two Virgo and @LIGO ’s observing runs and taking into account the detectors’ sensitivity, run’s duration and the current astrophysical models, to date we may estimate that...

Today is #EarthDay , a day dedicated to protecting the environment and raising awareness about its issues. Our main objective here at EGO and Virgo is to study the cosmos but to do so, surprisingly, we need to listen to Earth first https://t.co/DF6uIdJaC5

From the cosmos comes the solution to a 900 years old problem: Virgo found a way to straighten the leaning tower of Pisa with gravitational waves!

Cosmologia dantesca. #Dantedi2021 #DanteDay

[EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @ego_virgo]

We are pleased to celebrate #Dantedì with some cosmological readings from Dante’s Paradise, which EGO's Director Stavros Katsanevas enjoyed commenting. Did you know that, according to some critics, Dante's Paradise describes an hyperspherical cosmos?

Non è mai troppo tardi per celebrare Einstein. 🙂

[EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @ego_virgo]

Today is #PiDay and also the birthday of the father of general relativity, the theory that shaped our understanding of the universe, @AlbertEinstein ! He was born on the 14th of March 1879 in Ulm, Germany.

E se le stelle di neutroni fossero sfere quasi perfette? 🙂#PiDay #14marzo

[EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @ego_virgo]

What if ideal solids didn't exist only in the minds of mathematicians? Analysis of data from the last two @LIGO and Virgo observing runs showed that neutron stars may be close to the most perfect spheres in the universe!

Davvero uno sconforto infinito. un abbraccio a tutti a @Radio3scienza.

[Rai Radio3 @Radio3tweet]

Pensavamo a Rossella Panarese ogni volta che avevamo bisogno di un parere giusto, di una soluzione intelligente. Il suo equilibrio e il suo entusiasmo costruttivo ci proteggevano dalla tentazione dello sconforto e della noia. Dava senso al nostro essere Noi, e gliene siamo grati.

The past year was spent mostly apart from each other, distances got bigger and our hearts filled with loss. Thanks to science, technology and most importantly people's efforts the world didn't stop, and tomorrow we welcome a new year.

Una foto inedita di Enrico Sacchetti del nuovo sistema di sqeezing di @ego_virgo! E' stata selezionata nella shortlist del concorso @The_RPS Science Photographer of the Year.

[EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @ego_virgo]

A new vacuum pipe was recently installed at the Virgo detector as part of an upgrade of the squeezing system. Squeezing is a technique that uses quantum mechanics to improve the sensitivity of the detector. For the next run O4, thanks to the upgrade Advanced Virgo will be able...

Galileo, la luna e i buchi neri, domenica alle 18.30 online al @pisabookfest. @CaraveoPatrizia , Stefano Gattei e Stavros Katzanevas ci racconteranno come è cambiato il nostro modo di guardare e immaginare il cosmo da Galileo alle #ondegravitazionali

[EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @ego_virgo]

Thanks to all scientists and artists who took part in 'The sound of the Universe' yesterday. We are glad to have hosted this unique encounter of perspectives on listening to the cosmos. #brightnight #ERN @Unipisa @UNI_FIRENZE @lilianelijn @tomassaraceno https://t.co/VTcllPDspU

Perché @marcotravaglio è uno dei più invitati a @La7tv a commentare la pandemia, quando dimostra di non avere alcuna nozione di come si propaghi, si misuri e si contrasti un'epidemia? Non dovrebbe servire per parlarne così spesso? @OttoemezzoTW @paologiordano @antonellaviol17
