Gravitational waves and non-axisymmetric oscillation modes in mergers of compact object binaries (2011, background): “…which is directly comparable with the anticipated sensitivity for Advanced LIGO presently being installed (Harry & the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (2010)) and the projected Einstein Telescope (ET) detectors (Punturo et al. (2010); Hild et al. (2010)) (dotted red and blue curves, respectively).”
A gravitational wave observatory operating beyond the quantum shot-noise limit: Squeezed light in application (2011, background): “2010 due to upgrade activity), the Virgo project of the European Gravitational Observatory (with 3 km arms (7)) and the German-British detector GEO 600 (with 600 m arms (8,9)) exists, with further observatories planned or proposed in Japan (10), Australia (11) and Europe (12).”
Black hole growth through hierarchical black hole mergers in dense star clusters: implications for gravitational wave detections (2018, methodology): “Third-generation detectors such as the proposed Einstein Telescope (Punturo et al. 2010) and the Cosmic Explorer (Abbott et al. 2017a) will be able to probe GWs in a frequency range reaching down to ∼1Hz and detect BH mergers at high redshift.”
