The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
Martin J. Dyer, Danny Steeghs, Duncan K. Galloway +12
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a wide-field telescope project focused on detecting optical counterparts to gravitational-wave sources. GOTO uses arrays…
Processing GOTO data with the Rubin Observatory LSST Science Pipelines I : Production of coadded frames
J. R. Mullaney, L. Makrygianni, V. Dhillon +44
The past few decades have seen the burgeoning of wide field, high cadence surveys, the most formidable of which will be the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to be conducted b…
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…
Machine Learning for Transient Recognition in Difference Imaging With Minimum Sampling Effort
Yik-Lun Mong, Kendall Ackley, Duncan Galloway +45
The amount of observational data produced by time-domain astronomy is exponentially in-creasing. Human inspection alone is not an effective way to identify genuine transients fromt…
Improving the Robustness of the Advanced LIGO Detectors to Earthquakes
Eyal Schwartz, A Pele, J Warner +196
Teleseismic, or distant, earthquakes regularly disrupt the operation of ground--based gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Here, we present \emph{EQ mode}, a new glo…
Reducing Scattered Light in LIGO's Third Observing Run
S Soni, C Austin, A Effler +195
Noise due to scattered light has been a frequent disturbance in the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors, hindering the detection of gravitational waves. The non stationary s…
Searching for Electromagnetic Counterparts to Gravitational-wave Merger Events with the Prototype Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO-4)
B. P. Gompertz, R. Cutter, D. Steeghs +49
We report the results of optical follow-up observations of 29 gravitational-wave triggers during the first half of the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration (LVC) O3 run with the Gravitational-…
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…
Dynamic Normalization for Compact Binary Coalescence Searches in Non-Stationary Noise
S. Mozzon, L. K. Nuttall, A. Lundgren +3
The output of gravitational-wave interferometers, such as LIGO and Virgo, can be highly non-stationary. Broadband detector noise can affect the detector sensitivity on the order of…
