Characterization of systematic error in Advanced LIGO calibration in the second half of O3

Ling Sun, Evan Goetz, Jeffrey S. Kissel +19

We present the probability distribution of the systematic errors in the most accurate, high-latency version of the reconstructed dimensionless strain , at the Hanford and Living…

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…

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…

Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object

Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer +197

The motion of a mechanical object -- even a human-sized object -- should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: th…

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…
