Localisation of the present and future kilometric interferometers in the world
Since 2007, the data from the LIGO, GEO and Virgo detectors are shared and analyzed together as from a single “telescope”. Sharing the data is of main importance to reject local perturbations in the data and to localise the gravitational wave in the sky, i.e. to make astronomy.
