initial LIGO construction
... Initial LIGO represents an advance over all previous searches of two or three orders of magnitude in sensitivity and in bandwidth. Its reach is such that, for the first time, foreseeable signals due to neutron-star binary “inspirals” from the Virgo Cluster (15 Mpc distant) would be detectable. At th ...
