The project is now in an advanced construction phase and the assembly and integration will be completed by the end of 2015. Advanced Virgo will be part of a network with the two Advanced LIGO detectors in the US and GEO HF in Germany, with the goal of contributing to the early detections of gravitational waves and to opening a new observation window on the universe. In this paper we describe the main features of the Advanced Virgo detector and outline the status of the construction.OPENPhysics - Instrumentation and Detectors550AstronomyFARADAY ISOLATORSgravitational wave detectors; gravitational waves; laser interferometrylaser interferometryFOS: Physical sciencesGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)530SUSPENSIONGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologygravitational wave detectorsACCELEROMETER[PHYS.PHYS.PHYS-INS-DET]Physics [physics]/Physics [physics]/Instrumentation and Detectors [physics.ins-det]Gravitational wave detectors, Laser interferometry, Gravitational waves[PHYS.GRQC] Physics [physics]/General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology [gr-qc]SENSORInstrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)THERMAL NOISEFUSED-SILICAFARADAY ISOLATORS; FUSED-SILICA; THERMAL NOISE; COMPENSATION; PENDULUM; SYSTEM; SENSOR; MODES; ACCELEROMETER; SUSPENSIONSettore FIS/01 - FISICA SPERIMENTALECOMPENSATIONgravitational waves[PHYS.PHYS.PHYS-INS-DET] Physics [physics]/Physics [physics]/Instrumentation and Detectors [physics.ins-det]QC Physics / fizika[PHYS.GRQC]Physics [physics]/General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology [gr-qc]MODESRADIATIONravitational wave detectors, laser interferometry, gravitational wavesgravitational wave detectors; gravitational waves; laser interferometry; Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous)PENDULUMSYSTEMpublication01 natural sciences0103 physical sciences7.
