The IFAE GW group is presenting 2 posters in the plenary poster session of the Ligo-Virgo-Kagra week

Sergio González from the IFAE ATLAS group will present the talk “Dark Matter – ATLAS and CMS results” at the online conference [LCWS2021](https://indico.cern.ch/event/995633/)

“[Implications for first-order cosmological phase transitions from the third LIGO-Virgo observing run](https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.01714)” by Alba Romero, Katarina Martinovic, Thomas A. Callister, et al. has been accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters.

On the evening of the 25 March, the Barcelona Raman LIDAR Pathfinder installed on the CTA-North site at the ORM achieved first light.

On January 31, 2020, the QCT group measured the first superconducting qubit in the new QCT Lab at IFAE.

PIC participated in the PaN ESCAPE Data Management Workshop that was organized by the H2020 projects PaNOSCand ExPaNDS

Shalini Epari and Nazlim Agaras have just joined the ATLAS Group.

The outreach article [“El mayor mapa tridimensional del universo”](https://www.investigacionyciencia.es/revistas/investigacion-y-ciencia/la-espintrnica-imita-al-cerebro-819/el-mayor-mapa-tridimensional-del-universo-19346) by Andreu Font-Ribera and collaborators at eBoss has been published in the latest issue of Investigación y Ciencia.

The international collaboration releases a massive, public collection of astronomical data and calibrated images from six years of surveys. This data release is one of the largest astronomical catalogs issued to date.

PIC contributed to the data package for the Data Processing Panel, which shall assess the status of the Processing Functions (PF) as well as the ability of the SGS to produce and distribute Q1 data products.

The object catalog of DES DR2 has been ingested into the CosmoHub service.

The event is taking place online. Christos Karathanasis is contributing a talk: “Joint cosmological and population analyses using events from the first and second GWTC.”
