Sensitivity and Performance of the Advanced LIGO Detectors in the Third Observing Run

LIGO Instrument Science List, :, A. Buikema +197

On April 1st, 2019, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (aLIGO), joined by the Advanced Virgo detector, began the third observing run, a year-long dedi…

Particle swarming of sensor correction filters

Jonathan J. Carter, Sam J. Cooper, Edward Thrift +4

Reducing the impact of seismic activity on the motion of suspended optics is essential for the operation of ground-based gravitational wave detectors. During periods of increased s…

Towards windproofing LIGO: Reducing the effect of wind-driven floor tilt by using rotation sensors in active seismic isolation

Michael P. Ross, Krishna Venkateswara, Conor Mow-Lowry +9

Modern gravitational-wave observatories require robust low-frequency active seismic isolation in order to keep the interferometer at its ideal operating conditions. Seismometers ar…

Quantum correlations between the light and kilogram-mass mirrors of LIGO

Haocun Yu, L. McCuller, M. Tse +196

Measurement of minuscule forces and displacements with ever greater precision encounters a limit imposed by a pillar of quantum mechanics: the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. A l…

Ground motion prediction at gravitational wave observatories using archival seismic data

Nikhil Mukund, Michael Coughlin, Jan Harms +13

Gravitational wave observatories have always been affected by tele-seismic earthquakes leading to a decrease in duty cycle and coincident observation time. In this analysis, we lev…
