Abstract

We present a possible observing scenario for the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We determine the expected sensitivity of the network to transient gravitational-wave signals, and study the capability of the network to determine the sky location of the source. We report our findings for gravitational-wave transients, with particular focus on gravitational-wave signals from the inspiral of binary neutron-star systems, which are considered the most promising for multi-messenger astronomy. The ability to localize the sources of the detected signals depends on the geographical distribution of the detectors and their relative sensitivity, and 90% credible regions can be as large as thousands of square degrees when only two sensitive detectors are operational. Determining the sky position of a significant fraction of detected signals to areas of 5 deg2 to 20 deg2 will require at least three detectors of sensitivity within a factor of ~ 2 of each other and with a broad frequency bandwidth. Should the third LIGO detector be relocated to India as expected, a significant fraction of gravitational-wave signals will be localized to a few square degrees by gravitational-wave observations alone.

利用先进LIGO和先进Virgo观测和定位引力波瞬态的前景
我们提出了未来十年先进LIGO和先进处女座引力波探测器可能的观测方案,旨在为天文学界提供信息,以促进引力波多信使天文学的规划。我们确定了网络对瞬态引力波信号的期望灵敏度,并研究了网络确定源的天空位置的能力。我们报告了我们对引力波瞬变的发现,特别关注来自双中子星系统的引力波信号,这被认为是多信使天文学最有希望的。定位探测到的信号源的能力取决于探测器的地理分布和它们的相对灵敏度,当只有两个敏感探测器在工作时,90%的可信区域可以大到数千平方度。要确定很大一部分探测到的信号在5°2到20°2范围内的天空位置,需要至少三个灵敏度在彼此系数~ 2以内的探测器,并且具有宽的频率带宽。如果第三台LIGO探测器像预期的那样被安置到印度,那么仅通过引力波观测,就可以将很大一部分引力波信号定位到几平方度的范围内。

期刊介绍: Living Reviews in Relativity is a peer-reviewed, platinum open-access journal that publishes reviews of research across all areas of relativity. Directed towards the scientific community at or above the graduate-student level, articles are solicited from leading authorities and provide critical assessments of current research. They offer annotated insights into key literature and describe available resources, maintaining an up-to-date suite of high-quality reviews, thus embodying the "living" aspect of the journal's title. Serving as a valuable tool for the scientific community, Living Reviews in Relativity is often the first stop for researchers seeking information on current work in relativity. Written by experts, the reviews cite, explain, and assess the most relevant resources in a given field, evaluating existing work and suggesting areas for further research. Attracting readers from the entire relativity community, the journal is useful for graduate students conducting literature surveys, researchers seeking the latest results in unfamiliar fields, and lecturers in need of information and visual materials for presentations at all levels.
