Title

Abstract

The observation and interpretation of gravitational-wave signals from Virgo and LIGO has shown just how valuable this new information messenger can be, especially when combined with electromagnetic signals and particle observations. There are compelling arguments to increase the reach and sensitivity of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors, and enormous progress has been made in determining how such more sensitive detectors could be made. Both to optimize the science return and the return on investment, a global approach to the challenge of realizing the next generation network is needed. The Gravitational Wave International Committee (GWIC) subcommittee on Third Generation Ground-based Detectors is charged with examining the path to the development of a network of future ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) observatories, by working with the global community to explore and develop 1) The science case for the next generation of observatories which drive the designs of future detectors, 2) Coordination of key research and development themes and programs that will lead to technological breakthroughs needed to achieve design goals, and 3) Recommendations for frameworks to efficiently manage and operate the next generation GW network. This talk will give an overview of the status and plans of this coordination effort.

Title

Abstract

An overview of the plans for sharing low-latency triggers, published event data, and full data sets for the Virgo and LIGO detectors will be given. Our objectives are to maximize the chances for early host identification of gravitational-wave sources which are EM- and particle-bright, and to enable a larger community of interested researchers to pursue analysis of the GW data as well as multi-messenger astrophysics involving GW signals.
