PhD 2024-2027 – Controlling suspended optical cavities for Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detector

Proposal Ground-based detectors have been directly detecting gravitational waves since 2015. Their outstanding performances are allowed by improvement with respect to the basic operating principle of the Michelson interferometer. Suspended…

A Joint Fermi-GBM and Swift-BAT Analysis of Gravitational-Wave Candidates from the Third Gravitational-wave Observing Run

We present Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM) and Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift-BAT) searches for gamma-ray/X-ray counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) candidate events identified during the third observing run of…

Deep multimessenger search for compact binary mergers in LIGO, Virgo and Fermi/GBM data from 2016-2017

GW170817 - GRB 170817A provided the first observation of gravitational waves from a neutron star merger with associated transient counterparts across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. This discovery demonstrated the long-hypothesized…
