天文学・宇宙物理学中規模計画の展望

http://www.nao.ac.jp/news/notice/2014/20140114-future-plan.html

第22期 日本学術会議 物理学委員会 天文学・宇宙物理分科会（委員長 観山正見）は、2013年時点での天文学・宇宙物理学の将来計画の検討状況を報告書としてまとめ、発表しました。

この報告書では、2013年時点での天文学・宇宙物理学分野の中規模将来計画（総経費100億円未満で科学研究費など競争的経費では実現が難しいプロジェクト）を俯瞰（ふかん）することができます。それぞれのプロジェクトの高い学術的価値や環境整備状況、そして克服すべき課題等が明示されています。本報告書は、将来の中規模計画の健全な発展に役立つよう願いを込めて作成されました。

I am not sure if this is works for general fits image.

Status and perspectives of gravitational wave research

2014-01-14 @ ISAS

Date:       16:30-17:30, 14 January (Tue) 2014

Speaker:    Raffaele Flaminio (NAOJ)
Title:      Status and perspectives of gravitational wave research

Abstract: 
After a few years of data taking with Virgo and initial LIGO,
advanced gravitational wave detectors based on laser
interferometers are being built in the US (Advanced LIGO),
in Europe (Advanced Virgo) and in Japan (KAGRA).
These detectors are expected reach their design sensitivity
by the end of the decade and to open the field of gravitational
wave astronomy. In this talk I will briefly recall the most
promising sources of gravitational waves as well as the
motivations for pursuing the detection of the signals they emit.
I will then recall the principles and the issues involved in
the detection of gravitational waves with ground based laser
interferometers. The present status of the the detectors
development and in particular of the KAGRA project will be
described. The last part of the talk will be devoted to the
techniques involved in the analysis of the data collected
using this kind of detectors, to some of the results obtained
with Virgo and initial LIGO and to the perspectives of
detection with advanced laser interferometers.
