Einstein Telescope

Official profile of the Einstein Telescope. The project "Preparatory Phase for the Einstein Telescope Gravitational Wave Observatory" has received funding from the EU’s Horizon Europe INFRADEV Programme under GA No 101079696

The first joint ET-LISA Synergy Project is bringing together 40+ scientists to build shared code for joint gravitational-wave analyses. Combining observations across different frequency bands will reveal more about the early Universe than either detector alone. 🔗https://lnkd.in/ds5puvMb

Corner plot and posterior distributions comparing parameter estimation from LISA alone, the Einstein Telescope (ET) alone, and a joint LISA+ET analysis. Blue represents LISA, orange ET, and green the combined analysis. The joint LISA+ET results show substantially narrower posterior distributions for several parameters, illustrating the improved precision achieved through multiband gravitational-wave observations.Conceptual illustration of joint LISA and Einstein Telescope observations of a binary black hole system. Three LISA spacecraft form a triangular laser interferometer in space above Earth, while gravitational-wave ripples extend toward the underground Einstein Telescope facility below the surface. Two black circles represent the binary source. The text “LISA × ET” appears prominently at the top.

🔦 #ET_young Meet Romano Meijer, System Engineer at the Einstein Telescope Organisation Project Office at Nikhef. Romano helps bring together the many technologies behind ET into one coherent design. Off the clock? He's often under the stars, capturing galaxies like M101 with his own telescope. 🔭✨

The ET-PP Annual Meeting brought the Einstein Telescope community together in Barcelona on 5–7 May to review progress, align ongoing work and discuss the transition beyond ETPP. A lot is still ahead, but EU support, ESFRI’s strategic framework and European cooperation have built a strong foundation.
