The third generation of gravitational wave observatories, aiming to provide 100 times better sensitivity than currently operating interferometers, is expected to establish the evolving field of gravitational wave astronomy. A key element for achieving the ambitious sensitivity goal is the exploration of new interferometer geometries, topologies and configurations. In this article we review the current status of the ongoing design work for third-generation gravitational wave observatories. The main focus is set on the evaluation of the detector geometry and detector topology. In addition we discuss some promising detector configurations and potential noise reduction schemes.

Advanced gravitational wave detectors, currently under construction, are expected to directly observe gravitational wave signals of astrophysical origin. The Einstein Telescope, a third-generation gravitational wave detector, has been proposed in ord
er to fully open up the emerging field of gravitational wave astronomy. In this article we describe sensitivity models for the Einstein Telescope and investigate potential limits imposed by fundamental noise sources. A special focus is set on evaluating the frequency band below 10Hz where a complex mixture of seismic, gravity gradient, suspension thermal and radiation pressure noise dominates. We develop the most accurate sensitivity model, referred to as ET-D, for a third-generation detector so far, including the most relevant fundamental noise contributions.
The upcoming European design study `Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope represents the first step towards a substantial, international effort for the design of a third-generation interferometric gravitational wave detector. It is generally believed
that third-generation instruments might not be installed into existing infrastructures but will provoke a new search for optimal detector sites. Consequently, the detector design could be subject to fewer constraints than the on-going design of the second generation instruments. In particular, it will be prudent to investigate alternatives to the traditional L-shaped Michelson interferometer. In this article, we review an old proposal to use three Michelson interferometers in a triangular configuration. We use this example of a triple Michelson interferometer to clarify the terminology and will put this idea into the context of more recent research on interferometer technologies. Furthermore the benefits of a triangular detector will be used to motivate this design as a good starting point for a more detailed research effort towards a third-generation gravitational wave detector.
Third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave detectors will observe thousands of coalescing neutron star binaries with unprecedented fidelity. Extracting the highest precision science from these signals is expected to be challenging owing to both high si
gnal-to-noise ratios and long-duration signals. We demonstrate that current Bayesian inference paradigms can be extended to the analysis of binary neutron star signals without breaking the computational bank. We construct reduced order models for $sim 90,mathrm{minute}$ long gravitational-wave signals, covering the observing band ($5-2048,mathrm{Hz}$), speeding up inference by a factor of $sim 1.3times 10^4$ compared to the calculation times without reduced order models. The reduced order models incorporate key physics including the effects of tidal deformability, amplitude modulation due to the Earths rotation, and spin-induced orbital precession. We show how reduced order modeling can accelerate inference on data containing multiple, overlapping gravitational-wave signals, and determine the speedup as a function of the number of overlapping signals. Thus, we conclude that Bayesian inference is computationally tractable for the long-lived, overlapping, high signal-to-noise-ratio events present in 3G observatories.
In the past few years, the detection of gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences with the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors has become routine. Future observatories will detect even larger numbers of gravitational-wave signals, w
hich will also spend a longer time in the detectors sensitive band. This will eventually lead to overlapping signals, especially in the case of Einstein Telescope (ET) and Cosmic Explorer (CE). Using realistic distributions for the merger rate as a function of redshift as well as for component masses in binary neutron star and binary black hole coalescences, we map out how often signal overlaps of various types will occur in an ET-CE network over the course of a year. We find that a binary neutron star signal will typically have tens of overlapping binary black hole and binary neutron star signals. Moreover, it will happen up to tens of thousands of times per year that two signals will have their end times within seconds of each other. In order to understand to what extent this would lead to measurement biases with current parameter estimation methodology, we perform injection studies with overlapping signals from binary black hole and/or binary neutron star coalescences. Varying the signal-to-noise ratios, the durations of overlap, and the kinds of overlapping signals, we find that in most scenarios the intrinsic parameters can be recovered with negligible bias. However, biases do occur for a short binary black hole or a quieter binary neutron star signal overlapping with a long and louder binary neutron star event when the merger times are sufficiently close. Hence our studies show where improvements are required to ensure reliable estimation of source parameters for all detected compact binary signals as we go from second-generation to third-generation detectors.
The recent detections of gravitational waves (GWs) reported by LIGO/Virgo collaborations have made significant impact on physics and astronomy. A global network of GW detectors will play a key role to solve the unknown nature of the sources in coordi
nated observations with astronomical telescopes and detectors. Here we introduce KAGRA (former name LCGT; Large-scale Cryogenic Gravitational wave Telescope), a new GW detector with two 3-km baseline arms arranged in the shape of an L, located inside the Mt. Ikenoyama, Kamioka, Gifu, Japan. KAGRAs design is similar to those of the second generations such as Advanced LIGO/Virgo, but it will be operating at the cryogenic temperature with sapphire mirrors. This low temperature feature is advantageous for improving the sensitivity around 100 Hz and is considered as an important feature for the third generation GW detector concept (e.g. Einstein Telescope of Europe or Cosmic Explorer of USA). Hence, KAGRA is often called as a 2.5 generation GW detector based on laser interferometry. The installation and commissioning of KAGRA is underway and its cryogenic systems have been successfully tested in May, 2018. KAGRAs first observation run is scheduled in late 2019, aiming to join the third observation run (O3) of the advanced LIGO/Virgo network. In this work, we describe a brief history of KAGRA and highlights of main feature. We also discuss the prospects of GW observation with KAGRA in the era of O3. When operating along with the existing GW detectors, KAGRA will be helpful to locate a GW source more accurately and to determine the source parameters with higher precision, providing information for follow-up observations of a GW trigger candidate.
