Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed black holes in LIGO S4 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
According to general relativity a perturbed black hole will settle to a stationary configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation. Such a perturbation will occur, for exa…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Binary Coalescences in the First Year of LIGO's S5 Data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We have searched for gravitational waves from coalescing low mass compact binary systems with a total mass between 2 and 35 Msun and a minimum component mass of 1 Msun using data f…
Pushing towards the ET sensitivity using 'conventional' technology
Stefan Hild, Simon Chelkowski, Andreas Freise
Recently, the design study `Einstein gravitational wave Telescope' (ET) has been funded within the European FP7 framework. The ambitious goal of this project is to provide a concep…
DC-readout of a signal-recycled gravitational wave detector
S. Hild, H. Grote, J. Degallaix +10
All first-generation large-scale gravitational wave detectors are operated at the dark fringe and use a heterodyne readout employing radio frequency (RF) modulation-demodulation te…
Assigning confidence to inspiral gravitational wave candidates with Bayesian model selection
John Veitch, Alberto Vecchio
Bayesian model selection provides a powerful and mathematically transparent framework to tackle hypothesis testing, such as detection tests of gravitational waves emitted during th…
Using the etalon effect for in-situ balancing of the Advanced Virgo arm cavities
S. Hild, A. Freise, M. Mantovani +3
Several large-scale interferometric gravitational-wave detectors use resonant arm cavities to enhance the light power in the interferometer arms. These cavities are based on differ…
