Active Optical Table Tilt Stabilization
Charles W. Lewandowski, Tyler D. Knowles, Zachariah B. Etienne +1
We show that a simple modification to an optical table with pneumatic vibration isolation can be used to actively reduce the long term drift in the tilt of the table by nearly a fa…

High sensitivity accelerometry with a feedback-cooled magnetically levitated microsphere
Charles W. Lewandowski, Tyler D. Knowles, Zachariah B. Etienne +1
We show that a magnetically levitated microsphere in high vacuum can be used as an accelerometer by comparing its response to that of a commercially available geophone. This system…

Improving performance of SEOBNRv3 by 300x
Tyler D. Knowles, Caleb Devine, David A. Buch +4
When a gravitational wave is detected by Advanced LIGO/Virgo, sophisticated parameter estimation (PE) pipelines spring into action. These pipelines leverage approximants to generat…
