Directed searches for gravitational waves from ultralight vector boson clouds around merger remnant and galactic black holes during the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1769

We present the first directed searches for long-transient and continuous gravitational waves from ultralight vector boson clouds around known black holes (BHs). We use LIGO data fr…

TiO2 doping effect on reflective coating mechanical loss for gravitational wave detection at low temperature

Yukino Mori, Yota Nakayama, Kazuhiro Yamamoto +6

We measured the mechanical loss of a dielectric multilayer reflective coating (ion-beam-sputtered SiO2 and Ta2O5) with and without TiO2 on sapphire disks between 6 and 77 K. The me…

Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run

F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491

The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…
