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

随着LIGO在其第一次观测运行中观测到前两次确认的引力波事件，以及第二次观测运行的进行，引力波天文学已经成为现实。该奖项支持的研讨会，题为“黎明III -引力波天文学的下一步是什么？“旨在就如何继续下一代引力波探测器和主机设施制定一项全球战略。本次研讨会是年度DAWN系列的第三次研讨会，也是继2017年3月27/28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日在纽约州锡拉丘兹市中心万豪酒店举行。为期两天的会议将重点讨论第三代（3G）引力波观测站和探测器的全球战略及其科学案例。特别令人感兴趣的是，欧洲提出的建立一个详细描述为“爱因斯坦望远镜”设计研究的天文台的努力与美国提出的类似级别的天文台“宇宙探索者”之间的适当协调。预计将有来自世界各地的约60名与会者参加。同前几次妇发运动讲习班一样，会议成果将在一份报告中摘要介绍，并将向公众提供。

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.
