Mechanical Dissipation in Silicon Flexures
S. Reid, G. Cagnoli, D. R. M. Crooks +6
The thermo-mechanical properties of silicon make it of significant interest as a possible material for mirror substrates and suspension elements for future long-baseline gravitatio…
Galaxy Zoo: building the low-mass end of the red sequence with local post-starburst galaxies
O. Ivy Wong, K. Schawinski, S. Kaviraj +12
We present a study of local post-starburst galaxies (PSGs) using the photometric and spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the results from the Ga…
Magnetization reversal in Kagome artificial spin ice studied by first-order reversal curves
L. Sun, C. Zhou, J. H. Liang +6
Magnetization reversal of interconnected Kagome artificial spin ice was studied by the first-order reversal curve (FORC) technique based on the magneto-optical Kerr effect and magn…
Sensitivity Studies for Third-Generation Gravitational Wave Observatories
S. Hild, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +136
Advanced gravitational wave detectors, currently under construction, are expected to directly observe gravitational wave signals of astrophysical origin. The Einstein Telescope, a…
Beating the spin-down limit on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, R. Abbott +440
We present direct upper limits on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar using data from the first nine months of the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravit…
Production and Integration of the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer
B. Abbott, J. Albert, F. Alberti +373
During the shutdown of the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2013-2014, an additional pixel layer was installed between the existing Pixel detector of the ATLAS experiment and a new, s…
Galaxy Zoo: the fraction of merging galaxies in the SDSS and their morphologies
D. W. Darg, S. Kaviraj, C. J. Lintott +13
We present the largest, most homogeneous catalogue of merging galaxies in the nearby universe obtained through the Galaxy Zoo project - an interface on the world-wide web enabling…
Scientific Objectives of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +222
The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy. There is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detec…
Galaxy Zoo: The properties of merging galaxies in the nearby Universe - local environments, colours, masses, star-formation rates and AGN activity
D. W. Darg, S. Kaviraj, C. J. Lintott +12
Following the study of Darg et al. (2009; hereafter D09a) we explore the environments, optical colours, stellar masses, star formation and AGN activity in a sample of 3003 pairs of…
Scientific Potential of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +138
Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope (ET) is a design study funded by the European Commission to explore the technological challenges of and scientific benefits from building a th…
