A binary tree approach to template placement for searches for gravitational waves from compact binary mergers

Chad Hanna, James Kennington, Shio Sakon +30

We demonstrate a new geometric method for fast template placement for searches for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of compact binaries. The method is bas…

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…
