This book focuses on the development and implementation of the
longitudinal, angular and frequency controls of the Advanced Virgo
detector, both from the simulation and experimental point of view,
which contributed to Virgo reaching a sensitivity that enabled it
to join the LIGO-Virgo O2 run in August 2017. This data taking was
very successful, with the first direct detection of a binary black
hole merger (GW170814) using the full network of three
interferometers, and the first detection and localization of a
binary neutron star merger (GW170817). The second generation of
gravitational wave detector, Advanced Virgo, is capable of
detecting differential displacements of the order of 10-21m. This
means that it is highly sensitive to any disturbance, including the
seismic movement of the Earth. For this reason an active control is
necessary to keep the detector in place with sufficient accuracy.
