Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed black holes in LIGO S4 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
According to general relativity a perturbed black hole will settle to a stationary configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation. Such a perturbation will occur, for exa…
Standard Quantum Limit for Probing Mechanical Energy Quantization
Haixing Miao, Stefan Danilishin, Thomas Corbitt +1
We derive a standard quantum limit for probing mechanical energy quantization in a class of systems with mechanical modes parametrically coupled to external degrees of freedom. To…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Binary Coalescences in the First Year of LIGO's S5 Data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We have searched for gravitational waves from coalescing low mass compact binary systems with a total mass between 2 and 35 Msun and a minimum component mass of 1 Msun using data f…
Optimizing the regimes of Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detector for multiple source types
I. S. Kondrashov, D. A. Simakov, F. Ya. Khalili +1
We develop here algorithms which allow to find regimes of signal-recycled Fabry-Perot--Michelson interferometer (for example, Advanced LIGO), optimized concurrently for two (binary…
Double optical spring enhancement for gravitational wave detectors
Henning Rehbein, Helge Mueller-Ebhardt, Kentaro Somiya +4
Currently planned second-generation gravitational-wave laser interferometers such as Advanced LIGO exploit the extensively investigated signal-recycling (SR) technique. Candidate A…
LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
