Australian Partnership in Advanced LIGO

高级干涉仪引力波天文台（AdvLIGO）将是第一个能够频繁观测已知引力波源的引力波天文台，导致引力波天文学的诞生。能够做到这一点的仪器的开发正在推动激光、光学、光子学和数据分析等领域的技术发展。通过在该设施中发挥关键作用，澳大利亚将获得科学和技术奖励，成为21世纪最令人兴奋的物理学前沿的一部分，同时为明天培养科学家和技术人员。

Advanced Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) (AdvLIGO) will be the first gravitational wave observatory capable of frequent observation of known sources of gravitational waves leading to the birth of gravitational wave astronomy. The development of instruments capable of doing this is driving technology in fields such as lasers , optics, photonics and data analysis. By playing a key role in this facility, Australia will reap the scientific and technical rewards of being part of the most exciting frontier of physics in the 21st Century whilst training scientists and technologists for tomorrow.
