Workshop: Dawn III: What's next for Gravitational Wave Astronomy? workshop to be held in Syracuse, NY, July 6-7 2017

随着LIGO在第一次观测中观测到了前两个已确认的引力波事件，以及第二次观测的进行，引力波天文学已经成为现实。该奖项支持的研讨会名为“黎明III--引力波天文学的下一步是什么？”旨在制定一项关于如何推进下一代引力波探测器和主机设施的全球战略。这次研讨会是一年一度的黎明系列的第三个研讨会，也是继2017年3月27日至28日在伯明翰大学举行的第八届爱因斯坦望远镜研讨会：“迈向全球3G GW网络”之后，该研讨会强调了进一步国际合作的必要性。研讨会将于2017年7月6日至7日在纽约锡拉丘兹举行，在万豪锡拉丘兹市中心酒店举行。为期两天的计划将聚焦于第三代(3G)引力波观测站和探测器的全球战略，以及它们的科学案例。特别令人感兴趣的是，欧洲提出的建立一个天文台的努力与美国提出的一个类似级别的天文台之间的适当协调，这两个天文台的设计研究详细介绍了爱因斯坦望远镜的设计，并将其命名为“宇宙探索者”。预计将有来自世界各地的约60人参加。同以往的黎明讲习班一样，会议成果将在一份将向公众公布的报告中加以总结。

With the observation of the first two confirmed gravitational-wave events by LIGO during its first observation run, and with the second observation run ongoing, gravitational-wave astronomy has become a reality. The workshop supported by this award, entitled "DAWN III - What's Next for Gravitational Wave Astronomy?" aims at forging a global strategy on how to proceed with the next generation gravitational wave detectors and host facilities. This workshop, the third in the annual DAWN series, also follows the 8th Einstein Telescope Symposium: "Toward a global 3G GW network", held at the University of Birmingham on March 27/28 2017, which highlighted the need for further international collaboration.The workshop will be held in Syracuse, NY, at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown hotel on July 6-7, 2017. The two-day program will focus on the global strategy for third-generation (3G) gravitational wave observatories and detectors, and their science case. Of particular interest is the proper coordination between the European effort proposing to build an observatory detailed by the "Einstein Telescope" design study, and the U.S. proposal of a similar class observatory, named "Cosmic Explorer". About 60 participants from around the world are expected. As in the case of the previous DAWN workshops, the outcome of the meeting will be summarized in a report that will be made publicly available.
