The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Advanced…
Detector characterization and data quality studies -- collectively referred to as {\em DetChar} activities in this article -- are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the joint dataset collected by…
SVOM is a Sino-French space mission targeting high-energy transient astrophysical objects such as gamma-ray bursts. The soft X-ray part of the spectrum is covered by the Micro-channel X-ray Telescope (MXT)…
On August 8, 2021, a "new" star appeared in the constellation of Ophiuchus and remained visible to the naked eye for several days. In fact, it had already been observed…
Vincent Tatischeff, research director (A2C pole, Astrophysics & Cosmochemistry), was rewarded with the CNRS silver medal, given by Vincent Poireau (IN2P3 DAS), in the presence of Sophie Henrot-Versillé, A2C director.…
A specialist in high energy astrophysical phenomena, Vincent Tatischeff is the Director of Research at the Physics of two infinites – Irène Joliot-Curie laboratory (IJCLab – Université Paris-Saclay, Université Paris-Cité,…
Abstract: Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient sensitivity worsening and gaps in data taking.…
We present our follow-up observations with GRANDMA of transient sources revealed by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Over a period of six months, all ZTF alerts were examined in real…
Detecting gravitational waves requires managing a lot of data, and being able to find the signal among all the noise affecting the detector. How does the Virgo team achieve this…
