Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Validation of optical pathlength stability in a LISA test-bench demonstrator
Shivani Harer, Maxime Vincent, Hubert Halloin +40
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) observatory is a future L3 mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) to detect gravitational waves, set to launch in 2035. The detect…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: tools
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
Detector characterization and data quality studies -- collectively referred to as {\em DetChar} activities in this article -- are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the jo…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality during the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave signals in the past few years, alongside the two LIGO ins…
The Virgo O3 run and the impact of the environment
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +486
Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient…
Technologies for the ELGAR large scale atom interferometer array
B. Canuel, S. Abend, P. Amaro-Seoane +56
We proposed the European Laboratory for Gravitation and Atom-interferometric Research (ELGAR), an array of atom gradiometers aimed at studying space-time and gravitation with the p…
ELGAR -- a European Laboratory for Gravitation and Atom-interferometric Research
B. Canuel, S. Abend, P. Amaro-Seoane +55
Gravitational Waves (GWs) were observed for the first time in 2015, one century after Einstein predicted their existence. There is now growing interest to extend the detection band…
A standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant from GW170817 without the electromagnetic counterpart
M. Fishbach, R. Gray, I. Magaña Hernandez +316
We perform a statistical standard siren analysis of GW170817. Our analysis does not utilize knowledge of NGC 4993 as the unique host galaxy of the optical counterpart to GW170817.…
Calibration of Advanced Virgo and Reconstruction of the Gravitational Wave Signal h(t) during the Observing Run O2
Virgo Collaboration, F. Acernese, T. Adams +281
In August 2017, Advanced Virgo joined Advanced LIGO for the end of the O2 run, leading to the first gravitational waves detections with the three-detector network. This paper descr…
Exploring gravity with the MIGA large scale atom interferometer
B. Canuel, A. Bertoldi, L. Amand +22
We present an underground long baseline atom interferometer to study gravity at large scale. The hybrid atom-laser antenna will use several atom interferometers simultaneously inte…
Observing gravitational-wave transient GW150914 with minimal assumptions
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
The gravitational-wave signal GW150914 was first identified on Sept 14 2015 by searches for short-duration gravitational-wave transients. These searches identify time-correlated tr…
Properties of the Binary Black Hole Merger GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +987
On September 14, 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detected a gravitational-wave transient (GW150914); we characterize the properties of the sour…
