Observing and evading quantum back-action on a kilogram-scale oscillator
Begüm Kabagöz, Eric Oelker, Dhruva Ganapathy +203
Continuous quantum displacement measurements are fundamentally limited by a trade-off between readout imprecision and measurement back-action, constrained by the Heisenberg uncerta…
Narrow spectral artifact investigation and mitigation in LIGO data from the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
E. Goetz, A. Neunzert, A. M. Knee +258
We present efforts to identify, characterize, and mitigate narrow spectral artifacts in LIGO detector data during the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Narrow spectral artifac…
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…
The US Program in Ground-Based Gravitational Wave Science: Contribution from the LIGO Laboratory
David Reitze, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams +181
Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 201…
An Upper Limit on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background of Cosmological Origin
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of a large number of unresolved gravitational-wave sources of astrophysical and cosmologica…
Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +2
We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron…
