GW190412: Observation of a Binary-Black-Hole Coalescence with Asymmetric Masses
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254
We report the observation of gravitational waves from a binary-black-hole coalescence during the first two weeks of LIGO's and Virgo's third observing run. The signal was recorded…
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…
Open data from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1245
Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo are actively monitoring the sky and collecting gravitational-wave strain data with sufficient sensitivity to detect signals routinely. In this pape…
A method for the experimental measurement of bulk and shear loss angles in amorphous thin films
Gabriele Vajente, Mariana Fazio, Le Yang +4
Brownian thermal noise is a limiting factor for the sensitivity of many high precision metrology applications, among other gravitational-wave detectors. The origin of Brownian nois…
