(combined effort of three GW detectors)

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration (LVK) is the combined effort of the operators of gravitational-wave detectors LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA to coordinate their efforts, including synchronizing their Observing Runs, promptly combining their analysis and announcements of GW detections, and producing combined catalogs of their detections.
