Elastic and structural anisotropy in silica thin films for gravitational-wave detectors

Brenda Bracco, Michele Magnozzi, Stefano Colace +11

The thermal noise of mirror coatings for gravitational-wave detectors critically depends on the elastic properties of the constituent materials. Data analyses and theoretical model…

Silicon-based vacuum window for millimeter and submillimeter-wave astrophysics

Ryota Takaku, Scott Cray, Kosuke Aizawa +7

We designed, fabricated, and characterized the properties of a silicon-based vacuum window suitable for millimeter-wave astrophysical applications. The window, which has a diameter…

Directional Search for Persistent Gravitational Waves: Results from the First Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1765

The angular distribution of gravitational-wave power from persistent sources may exhibit anisotropies arising from the large-scale structure of the Universe. This motivates directi…
