Participants are encouraged to form groups, and to get support from their teachers and other senior members of their home institutions. Winning groups will be considered for internships and summer research programs at various partner institutes of the IndIGO consortium (in India and abroad). An article summarizing the analysis results (with all participants as co-authors) is also being planned.
Registration is now open. For more information, please see the following page:
IndIGO Mock Data Challenge for Students
Published At: 2011-07-29 11:54 -|
The IndIGO consortium is organizing a mock gravitational-wave (GW) data challenge for students. Simulated data of a future GW observatory called "Indigo" will be provided containing simulated GW signals from inspiralling binary black holes. Participants will be asked to detect these signals using the detection algorithms that they have developed, and to report the recovered parameters of the black-hole binaries.
