MORNING SESSION 4, PLENARY LECTURES: INTELLIGENCE on INSTRUMENTS: THE ASTRONOMY and ASTROPHYSICS CASES
- Angeles DIAZ (Universidad Autonoma de Madrid)
Description
This whole session will be dedicated to some major and different types of experiments in Astronomy and Astrophysics searching i.e. spatial telescope, very large dimensions terrestrial telescope and atom interferometry based experiments. They will contribute to the years to come, to search for DARK ENERGY and DARK MATTER, to measure GRAVITY constants and contribute to the study of gravitational waves (AEDGE) and explore the space.

Dr Jason SPYROMILIO (European Southern Observatory, ESO, Karl-Schwarzschild-Str 2 85748 Garching, Germany)27/08/2021, 10:10
Dr. Spyromilio is a senior astronomer at the European Southern Observatory. His research interests are focused on supernovae and their use in understanding the physics of explosions. He was a member of the high-z team that co-discovered the acceleration of the expansion of the universe (for which we were all awarded the Gruber prize, more recently the Breakthrough prize and for which Brian and...

A series of new experiments, so called "Atomic Experiments", are in project or being built in the world aiming to explore Dark Matter and Gravity. Among these new projects:
The Zhaoshan long-baseline Atom Interferometer Gravitation Antenna (ZAIGA) in China.
the Matter-wave laser Interferometric Gravitation Antenna (MIGA) Experiment in France.
As well as experiments already running or...
