Probing squeezing for gravitational-wave detectors with an audio-band field
Dhruva Ganapathy, Victoria Xu, Wenxuan Jia +5
Squeezed vacuum states are now employed in gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, enhancing their sensitivity and thus enabling richer astrophysical observations. In future…
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…
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…
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…
Frequency-Dependent Squeezing for Advanced LIGO
L. McCuller, C. Whittle, D. Ganapathy +13
The first detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015 launched the era of gravitational wave astronomy. The quest for…
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…
Improving astrophysical parameter estimation via offline noise subtraction for Advanced LIGO
J. C. Driggers, S. Vitale, A. P. Lundgren +228
The Advanced LIGO detectors have recently completed their second observation run successfully. The run lasted for approximately 10 months and lead to multiple new discoveries. The…
Identification and mitigation of narrow spectral artifacts that degrade searches for persistent gravitational waves in the first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO
P. B. Covas, A. Effler, E. Goetz +260
Searches are under way in Advanced LIGO and Virgo data for persistent gravitational waves from continuous sources, e.g. rapidly rotating galactic neutron stars, and stochastic sour…
Detecting Long-Duration Narrow-Band Gravitational Wave Transients Associated with Soft Gamma Repeater Quasi-Periodic Oscillations
David Murphy, Maggie Tse, Peter Raffai +6
We have performed an in-depth concept study of a gravitational wave data analysis method which targets repeated long quasi-monochromatic transients (triggers) from cosmic sources.…
