Silicon emissivity as a function of temperature
Marcio Constancio, Rana X. Adhikari, Odylio D. Aguiar +4
In this paper we present the temperature-dependent emissivity of a silicon sample, estimated from its cool-down curve in a constant low temperature environment ( 82K). The…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
Multi-Nested Pendula: a new concept for vibration isolation and its application to gravitational wave detectors
Odylio D. Aguiar, Marcio Constancio
Adequate vibration isolation is of great importance for the design of any sensitive experiment measuring mechanical motions. The so-called multistage or multipole mechanical low pa…
Nanogap Transducer for Broadband Gravitational Wave Detection
Guilherme L. Pimentel, Odylio D. Aguiar, Michael E. Tobar +2
By changing from a resonant multimode paradigm to a free mass paradigm for transducers in resonant mass gravitational wave detection, an array of six spheres can achieve a sensitiv…
Astrophysics from data analysis of spherical gravitational wave detectors
C. H. Lenzi, N. S. Magalhães, C. A. Costa +3
The direct detection of gravitational waves will provide valuable astrophysical information about many celestial objects. Also, it will be an important test to general relativity a…
Spherical gravitational wave detectors: An approach for real time data analysis
Cesar Augusto Costa, Odylio Denys de Aguiar
We have developed a full model to simulate spherical detectors where all main sources of noise are considered. We have built a computer code for determining the source direction an…
