Talk by Dr.Linqing Wen.

• Title: The scientific benefit of a larger GW detector network
• Speaker: Linqing Wen (on behalf of the ACIGA collaboration)
• Abstract: We are at the dawn of making the first detection of gravitational waves (GWs). The advanced LIGO and VIRGO detectors are funded and are under construction with a promise of tens of detections a year. A larger GW network is forming with the KAGRA detector in Japan partially funded and LIGO-India on the near horizon. In this talk, I will show that the GW detector network is approaching the desirable capacity that allows prompt and yet precise follow-up observations of gravitational wave events by conventional electromagnetic telescopes. I will then argue for a larger network that includes AIGO - a GW detector at the southern hemisphere. At the end of my presentation, I'll address briefly the status and future plan for AIGO.
