Journal ArticleDOI

The Einstein Telescope: a third-generation gravitational wave observatory

M. Punturo, +134 more
TL;DR: The third-generation ground-based observatory Einstein Telescope (ET) project as discussed by the authors is currently in its design study phase, and it can be seen as the first step in this direction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictions for the rates of compact binary coalescences observable by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors

J. Abadie, +722 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Kalogera et al. presented an up-to-date summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the initial and advanced versions of the ground-based gravitational-wave detectors LIGO and Virgo.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gravitational wave observatory operating beyond the quantum shot-noise limit

J. Abadie, +614 more
- 11 Sep 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the squeezed-light enhancement of GEO600, which will be the GW observatory operated by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration in its search for GWs for the next 3-4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitivity studies for third-generation gravitational wave observatories

Stefan Hild, +141 more
TL;DR: In this article, a special focus is set on evaluating the frequency band below 10 Hz where a complex mixture of seismic, gravity gradient, suspension thermal and radiation pressure noise dominates, including the most relevant fundamental noise contributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scientific objectives of Einstein Telescope

Bangalore Suryanarayana Sathyaprakash, +225 more
TL;DR: The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy, and there is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detectors that operate in a frequency range from 1 Hz to 10 kHz, with sensitivity a factor 10 better in amplitude as discussed by the authors.
