Validating gravitational-wave detections: The Advanced LIGO hardware injection system
C. Biwer, D. Barker, J. C. Batch +44
Hardware injections are simulated gravitational-wave signals added to the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). The detectors' test masses are physically disp…
Improving LIGO calibration accuracy by tracking and compensating for slow temporal variations
D. Tuyenbayev, S. Karki, J. Betzwieser +9
Calibration of the second-generation LIGO interferometric gravitational-wave detectors employs a method that uses injected periodic modulations to track and compensate for slow tem…
Analysis Framework for the Prompt Discovery of Compact Binary Mergers in Gravitational-wave Data
Cody Messick, Kent Blackburn, Patrick Brady +24
We describe a stream-based analysis pipeline to detect gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron stars, binary black holes, and neutron-star-black-hole binaries within…
Gravitational-Wave Constraints on the Progenitors of Fast Radio Bursts
Thomas Callister, Jonah Kanner, Alan Weinstein
The nature of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains enigmatic. Highly energetic radio pulses of millisecond duration, FRBs are observed with dispersion measures consistent with an extra…
