Implication

Modeling analysis demonstrates precise sky localization of gravitational-wave transients across global detector networks, highlighting the value of adding international observatories.

Key Points

Assess the network configuration and sensitivity requirements needed to observe and localize transient gravitational-wave sources using Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo.
Evaluated network performance parameters requiring broad frequency bandwidth and at least three active gravitational-wave detectors.
Modeled localization capabilities under network scenarios including the planned relocation of an Advanced LIGO detector to India.
Effective observation and localization requires at least three detectors with sensitivities within a factor of approximately 2 of each other.
Relocating the third LIGO detector to India enables a significant fraction of transient signals to be localized to within a few square degrees by gravitational-wave observations alone.
