A High Frequency Space Interferometer to Extend the Reach of the GW Detector Network

The terrestrial gravitational radiation antennae network aims to provide coverage of the nearby universe for signals which fall within the 5-5000 Hz band. The space interferometer concepts are aimed towards 1-100 mHz (LISA) and 0.1 - 10 Hz (DECIGO / BBO). In this talk I will describe a simplified space interferometer concept which overlaps with the terrestrial network and coherently produces a new network. This combined observatory spans 6 decades in frequency and would allow for unprecedented tests of relativity and opportunity for feasible early warnings for gamma ray bursts.
We plan to broadcast this talk using SeeVogh.
