The installation and commissioning of 2nd generation, advanced gravitational wave detectors is progressing on schedule, and observations will start in the second half of 2015, beginning with the two LIGO detectors, whereas Virgo will join in 2016. The instruments will gradually lower their noise floor, eventually achieving a tenfold increase in amplitude sensitivity, which translates for some impulsive sources in a thousandfold increase in event rate. In this talk we will review the main science objectives and expected observational perspectives of the advanced detectors network.

Abstract
The installation and commissioning of 2nd generation, advanced gravitational wave detectors is progressing on schedule, and observations will start in the second half of 2015, beginning with the two LIGO detectors, whereas Virgo will join in 2016. The instruments will gradually lower their noise floor, eventually achieving a tenfold increase in amplitude sensitivity, which translates for some impulsive sources in a thousandfold increase in event rate. In this talk we will review the main science objectives and expected observational perspectives of the advanced detectors network.File in questo prodotto:
