The search of higher multipole radiation in gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences by a minimally-modelled pipeline

O. Halim, G. Vedovato, E. Milotti +13

The coherent WaveBurst (cWB) pipeline implements a minimally-modelled search to find a coherent response in the network of gravitational wave detectors of the LIGO-Virgo Collaborat…

Modeling Core-Collapse Supernovae Gravitational-Wave Memory in Laser Interferometric Data

Colter Richardson, Michele Zanolin, Haakon Andresen +3

We study the properties of the gravitational wave (GW) emission between Hz and Hz (which we refer to as low-frequency emission) from core-collapse supernovae, in the…

Detection of LIGO-Virgo binary black holes in the pair-instability mass gap

Brendan O'Brien, Marek Szczepanczyk, V. Gayathri +5

By probing the population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected by LIGO-Virgo, we can infer properties about the underlying black hole formation channels. A mechanism known a…

LIGOs Quantum Response to Squeezed States

L. McCuller, S. E. Dwyer, A. C. Green +194

Gravitational Wave interferometers achieve their profound sensitivity by combining a Michelson interferometer with optical cavities, suspended masses, and now, squeezed quantum sta…

Optimization of model independent gravitational wave search using machine learning

Tanmaya Mishra, Brendan O'Brien, V. Gayathri +4

The Coherent WaveBurst (cWB) search algorithm identifies generic gravitational wave (GW) signals in the LIGO-Virgo strain data. We propose a machine learning (ML) method to optimiz…

Detecting and reconstructing gravitational waves from the next Galactic core-collapse supernova in the Advanced Detector Era

Marek Szczepanczyk, Javier Antelis, Michael Benjamin +17

We performed a detailed analysis of the detectability of a wide range of gravitational waves derived from core-collapse supernova simulations using gravitational-wave detector nois…

First demonstration of early warning gravitational wave alerts

Ryan Magee, Deep Chatterjee, Leo P. Singer +33

Gravitational-wave observations became commonplace in Advanced LIGO-Virgo's recently concluded third observing run. 56 non-retracted candidates were identified and publicly announc…

LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Observing Runs

D. Davis, J. S. Areeda, B. K. Berger +284

The characterization of the Advanced LIGO detectors in the second and third observing runs has increased the sensitivity of the instruments, allowing for a higher number of detecta…

Environmental Noise in Advanced LIGO Detectors

P. Nguyen, R. M. S. Schofield, A. Effler +215

The sensitivity of the Advanced LIGO detectors to gravitational waves can be affected by environmental disturbances external to the detectors themselves. Since the transition from…

Point absorbers in Advanced LIGO

Aidan F. Brooks, Gabriele Vajente, Hiro Yamamoto +198

Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nano-meter scale thermo-elastic deformations a…
