Gravitational waves opened a new window on the Universe and paved the way to a new era of multimessenger observations. Ground-based detectors such as Advanced LIGO and Virgo have been extremely successful in detecting gravitational wave signals from the coalescences of black holes and/or neutron stars. In order to improve over the actual sensitivities, the background noise must be investigated...
Citizen science, traditionally known as the engagement of amateur participants in research, is demonstrating a great potential for large-scale processing of data. Using the power of the web, virtual communities of volunteers have been able to coordinate the classification of hundreds of thousands of images in a reasonable amount of time. In areas such as astronomy or geo-sciences, where...
