The second LIGO observational run started last year and according to Wikipedia the germany and italy based GWs detectors Geo600 and Virgo are already operational, I would like to confirm whether as of now the 4 detectors(2 from LIGO,1 GEO and 1 VIRGO) are simultaneously fully operative.
I would expect that if this is the case a much better precision in locating the sources of possible detections can be achieved than what was possible only with 2, but it is hard to know just by looking at the official pages if the 4 detector are currently in a joint observing run.
