Equipment for international collaboration in gravitational wave detection: This project will allow the Australian Consortium for Gravitational Astronomy to install optical equipment at its dedicated research facility, and to install data analysis pipelines on new iVEC Pawsey Centre GPU-enabled supercomputers. The equipment is required for research aimed at stabilising instabilities in the new international gravitational wave detectors currently being commissioned in the USA and Europe. Real time data from the new detectors will be analysed using innovative new techniques. Scientists across Australia will be able to rapidly localise potential gravitational wave sources to direct robotic telescope observations. This could enable the first detection of gravitational waves.

引力波探测国际合作的设备：该项目将使澳大利亚引力天文学联合会能够在其专用研究设施中安装光学设备，并在新的iVEC Pawsey中心GPU超级计算机上安装数据分析管道。该设备用于稳定目前在美国和欧洲投入使用的新的国际引力波探测器的不稳定性的研究。新探测器提供的真实的实时数据将使用创新的新技术进行分析。澳大利亚各地的科学家将能够快速定位潜在的引力波源，以指导机器人望远镜的观测。这可能是第一次探测到引力波。
