天文学 & 天体物理学
赌博平台 is very active in astronomy and astrophysics research. As members of the LVC collaboration we are involved in the analysis of data from the two LIGO, the Virgo and the German-British GEO600 detectors. 天体物理学 research at 赌博平台 also involves modelling populations of compact object binaries in the Galaxy and its environs in order to determine how gravitational wave observations can shed light on models of stellar evolution and Galactic structure. This research is relevant to gravitational wave observations using LISA, LIGO /处女座, 以及脉冲星定时阵列. The Arecibo Remote Command and Control Center (ARCC) brings access to the world’s largest radio telescope, 波多黎各的阿雷西博天文台, 给赌博平台的研究人员, and makes 赌博平台 the world leader in using pulsar timing to detect gravitational waves.
引力波数据分析
赌博平台 is a member of the LIGO-Virgo Scientific collaboration. As members of the LVC collaboration we are involved in the analysis of data from the two LIGO, the Virgo and the German-British GEO600 detectors. Data is analyzed for the detection of gravitational wave (GW) signals of astrophysical origin as well as for the characterization of the detector. 研究 in data analysis for astrophysical searches includes developing innovative search algorithms, both for existing and future detectors such as LISA, enhancing the sensitivity of existing algorithms in real data and increasing the computational efficiency of search pipelines. In检测器表征, data mining techniques are used to classify and understand un-modelled noise sources in the detector arising from terrestrial sources. 这种理解会带来更好的结果, more realistic noise models that can be used to test search algorithms. Both the fields require close interaction with experimentalists working on the detectors themselves. In this respect, we have the benefit of having a GW experimental group within the department.

光学观测天文学
Motivated by the need for a dedicated optical follow-up instrument for aLIGO/AdVirgo, scientists from The University of Texas at Brownsville, 科尔多瓦国立大学, 加州理工学院和德州大学&M University have partnered to develop an astronomical observatory in the Southern hemisphere. The site at Cordon Macón is located at latitude 24.南纬61度,经度67度.32 West, at an altitude of 4,650 meters in the province of Salta, Argentina. The northern province of Salta is located on the other side of the Andes where major European and American astronomical observatories are located in Chile in the vast region on both sides of the Andes called the Atacama Puna.
