Low scatter and ultra-low reflectivity measured in a fused silica window
Cinthia Padilla, Fabian Magaña-Sandoval, Erik Muniz +3
We investigate the reflectivity and optical scattering characteristics at 1064\,nm of an antireflection coated fused silica window of the type being used in the Advanced LIGO gravi…
Monodromy action on unknotting tunnels in fiber surfaces
Jessica E. Banks, Matt Rathbun
In "Tunnel one, fibered links", the second author showed that the tunnel of a tunnel number one, fibered link can be isotoped to lie as a properly embedded arc in the fiber surface…
Effective-one-body model for black-hole binaries with generic mass ratios and spins
Andrea Taracchini, Alessandra Buonanno, Yi Pan +11
Gravitational waves emitted by black-hole binary systems have the highest signal-to-noise ratio in LIGO and Virgo detectors when black-hole spins are aligned with the orbital angul…
Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…
First Searches for Optical Counterparts to Gravitational-wave Candidate Events
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +904
During the LIGO and Virgo joint science runs in 2009-2010, gravitational wave (GW) data from three interferometer detectors were analyzed within minutes to select GW candidate even…
Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors
J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873
Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…
