Hunting for gravitational waves, a national and global collaboration
Australian scientists on the hunt for gravitational waves rely on AARNet for transferring data from LIGO detectors in the USA to OzGrav nodes in Australia for analysis.
Following the stars 24×7
SONG, the Stellar Observations Network Group is creating a network of small, interconnected, robotic telescopes scattered across the globe, to be able to focus on one specific point in the sky for days, weeks and months on end.
International researchers can now map the universe with Murchison
To ensure seamless and secure global research collaborations the MWA telescope has connected to eduGAIN.
Network connects astronomical observatories of the Canary Islands to the world
Data transmission between the astronomical observatories of the Canary Islands and the world increased tenfold since improving its connection to RedIRIS in 2012
Australian eResearch infrastructure lets astronomers hear echoes from the dawn of time
In a breakthrough discovery hailed as the most significant find in astronomy since gravitational waves, astronomers in the United States have used an Australian radio telescope to detect signal from the universe’s first stars.
LAGO Observatory: global collaboration, cosmic results
The LAGO (Latin American Giant Observatory) project traverses the skies of Latin America to set its sights on uncovering the mysteries of faraway galaxies.
Chasing gravitational waves with the network
The observation in August 2017, for the first time ever, of the merging of two neutron stars was the result of an important collaboration between the American and Italian interferometers LIGO and VIRGO. This discovery initiates the era of “multimessenger astrophysics,” which promises to reveal exciting new insights about the Cosmos.
Networking of galactic proportions to uncover the mysteries of the universe
The skies of Latin America have captivated stargazers for centuries. Today, the landscape is dotted with many of the world’s most advanced and important regional, national and international observatories, providing forefront access to the heavens and beyond – enabling groundbreaking research to advance our knowledge of the universe.
