LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run
S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232
Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…
A new method to distinguish gravitational-wave signals from detector noise transients with Gravity Spy
Seraphim Jarov, Sarah Thiele, Siddharth Soni +5
The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors have enabled the confident detection of dozens of mergers of black holes and neutron stars. However, the presence of detector noise t…
Applying the metallicity-dependent binary fraction to double white dwarf formation: Implications for LISA
Sarah Thiele, Katelyn Breivik, Robyn E. Sanderson +1
Short-period double white dwarf (DWD) binaries will be the most prolific source of gravitational waves (GWs) for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). DWDs with GW frequen…
Investigating the risks of debris-generating ASAT tests in the presence of megaconstellations
Sarah Thiele, Aaron C. Boley
The development of large constellations of satellites (i.e., so-called megaconstellations or satcons) is poised to increase the number of LEO satellites by more than an order of ma…
Parameterised population models of transient non-Gaussian noise in the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors
Gregory Ashton, Sarah Thiele, Yannick Lecoeuche +2
The two interferometric LIGO gravitational-wave observatories provide the most sensitive data to date to study the gravitational-wave Universe. As part of a global network, they ha…
Massive White Dwarfs in Young Star Clusters
Harvey B. Richer, Ilaria Caiazzo, Helen Du +6
We have carried out a search for massive white dwarfs (WDs) in the direction of young open star clusters using the Gaia DR2 database. The aim of this survey was to provide robust d…
Intermediate-Mass Stars Become Magnetic White Dwarfs
Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl, Harvey Richer +8
When a star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it either explodes as a supernova or more quiescently becomes a white dwarf, an object about half the mass of our Sun with a radius of about…
