Knowledge of the universe is now entering a new era. Thanks to technological improvements in observational devices and the growing capacity for data analysis, a window is opening that could revolutionise our knowledge of the cosmos.
In this scenario, multimessenger astronomy is a discipline with huge potential. It is now possible to observe the same cosmic event with different signals in addition to light, such as electromagnetic radiation, gravitational waves or neutrinos. With this complementary information, it is possible to better understand the complex mechanisms behind these phenomena.
Within this area, IGFAE staff are present in the coordination of experiments such as Pierre Auger, in Argentina, the largest and most precise observatory designed to study ultra-high energy cosmic rays, or the LIGO collaboration, responsible in 2015 for the historic experimental detection of the gravitational waves theorised by Einstein 100 years ago. The Institute is also involved in relevant neutrino detection projects, such as NEXT, DUNE and HyperK.
