From February 19th to 23rd, 2024, Astrocent group leader Mariusz Suchenek and PhD student Mateusz Pietrzak visited the Einstein Telescope Pathfinder for sensors installation. The installed seismometers were developed by Innoseis company and modified by University of Warsaw scientists. Infrasound microphones were created at Astrocent/NCAC, particularly by Prof. Tomasz…
Read moreFrom January 17 to 21, Mariusz Suchenek, the leader of AstroCeNT Group 3, undertook a scientific visit to Virgo. Virgo is an interferometric gravitational-wave antenna with two 3-km-long arms housing a laser interferometer. The interferometer output is susceptible to various seismic sources, making it beneficial to have numerous seismometers and…
