Imaging Scatterometer for Observing In-Situ Changes to Optical Coatings During Air Annealing
Michael Rezac, Daniel Martinez, Amy Gleckl +1
Annealing of amorphous optical coatings has been shown to generally reduce optical absorption, optical scattering, and mechanical loss, with higher temperature annealing giving bet…
Imaging Scatterometer for Observing Changes to Optical Coatings During Air Annealing
Michael Rezac, Daniel Martinez, Amy Gleckl +1
Air annealing generally reduces absorption, scattering, and mechanical loss in amorphous coatings up to temperatures where damage occurs. Our instrument uses an industrial oven wit…
Search of the Early O3 LIGO Data for Continuous Gravitational Waves from the Cassiopeia A and Vela Jr. Supernova Remnants
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1411
We present directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from the neutron stars in the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) and Vela Jr. supernova remnants. We carry out the searches in the…
GWTC-2.1: Deep Extended Catalog of Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1429
The second Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog reported on 39 compact binary coalescences observed by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors between 1 April 2019 15:00 UTC…
Search for lensing signatures in the gravitational-wave observations from the first half of LIGO-Virgo's third observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1378
We search for signatures of gravitational lensing in the gravitational-wave signals from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during O3a, the fi…
Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1338
We report on the population of the 47 compact binary mergers detected with a false-alarm rate 1/yr in the second LIGO--Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-2. We observ…
Tests of General Relativity with Binary Black Holes from the second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1344
Gravitational waves enable tests of general relativity in the highly dynamical and strong-field regime. Using events detected by LIGO-Virgo up to 1 October 2019, we evaluate the co…
GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run
R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott, S. Abraham +1349
We report on gravitational wave discoveries from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between…
Apparatus to Measure Optical Scatter of Coatings Versus Annealing Temperature
Joshua R. Smith, Rana X Adhikari, Katerin M. Aleman +9
Light scattered by amorphous thin-film optical coatings limits the sensitivity of interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. We describe an imaging scatterometer to assess the r…
