IGWN mailing lists¶
@ligo.org
lists¶
LIGO uses Sympa to manage many mailing lists used across LIGO-specific and joint IGWN groups. Collaboration members should navigate to
to see the list of available lists, and links to manage their subscriptions and view list archives.
Subscribing to @ligo.org
mailing lists¶
LIGO and Virgo members¶
Manage your subscriptions
Navigate to https://subscriptions.ligo.org/ to manage your subscriptions to @ligo.org
mailing lists.
KAGRA members¶
KAGRA members do not have a LIGO.ORG identity, and therefore cannot use the same mechanism to subscribe to ligo.org mailing lists as LIGO and Virgo members. Instead, KAGRA members can add themselves to the appropriate group in gw-astronomy.org
that will automatically subscribe them to the mailing list for that group.
The group management tab in gw-astronomy is at
https://registry.gw-astronomy.org/registry/co_groups/index/co:2
Mailing list groups have names like
gw-astronomy:KAGRA-LIGO:cbc@ligo.org
which is the group you can join to subscribe to the mailing list cbc@ligo.org
.
Click here to see a list of available @ligo.org
lists.
Not all lists are shared by default
KAGRA subscription to @ligo.org
mailing lists is being provided by request - if there is a @ligo.org
list for which there is not a corresponding KAGRA group, that means a request needs to be made to allow KAGRA subscription.
@ligo.org
mailing list topics¶
Some @ligo.org
mailing lists have topics
to which you can subscribe and send. After subscribing to a list (e.g. cbc@ligo.org
) you can see the list of topics available for that list in your subscriber options (e.g. https://sympa.ligo.org/wws/suboptions/cbc). If you want to subscribe to only some topics on the list, or to only mail with no topic tags (i.e. Other), you can select them on that page.
Getting everything!
If you want to receive everything sent to the list, with or without a topic tag, do not select anything on the topics page.
To send email to a topic, you add a +topic
tag to the listname, e.g. cbc+pe@ligo.org
. The topic must be configured to be recognized by the mailing list before this will work. Only mailing list moderators can request new topics for a list (using the computing helpdesk). A message with a valid topic will have the topic tag added to the subject line of the email after the list name (e.g. email to cbc+pe@ligo.org
with subject My subject
will be distributed to subscribers with the subject [cbc][pe] My subject
).
Requesting a new @ligo.org
mailing list¶
LIGO.ORG account holders can request a new @ligo.org
mailing list by completing this short form (ensure you are using your LIGO.ORG google identity to access the form).
Virgo lists¶
The Virgo Collaboration uses Mailman to manage mailing lists. Collaboration members should navigate to http://mail.virgo.infn.it/mailman/
to see the list of available lists and links to manage their subscriptions and view list archives.
