A search of the Orion spur for continuous gravitational waves using a "loosely coherent" algorithm on data from LIGO interferometers
J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +920
We report results of a wideband search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars within the Orion spur towards both the inner and outer regions of our Galaxy. As…
Improving the Data Quality of Advanced LIGO Based on Early Engineering Run Results
L. K. Nuttall, T. J. Massinger, J. Areeda +16
The Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors have completed their initial upgrade phase and will enter the first observing run in late 2015, wi…
Observation of Parametric Instability in Advanced LIGO
Matthew Evans, Slawek Gras, Peter Fritschel +41
Parametric instabilities have long been studied as a potentially limiting effect in high-power interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Until now, however, these instabilities…
Resonant Dampers for Parametric Instabilities in Gravitational Wave Detectors
Slawek Gras, Peter Fritschel, Lisa Barsotti +1
Advanced gravitational wave interferometric detectors will operate at their design sensitivity with nearly 1MW of laser power stored in the arm cavities. Such large power may lead…
In-situ characterization of the thermal state of resonant optical interferometers via tracking of their higher-order mode resonances
Chris L. Mueller, Paul Fulda, Rana X. Adhikari +9
Thermal lensing in resonant optical interferometers such as those used for gravitational wave detection is a concern due to the negative impact on control signals and instrument se…
Seismic isolation of Advanced LIGO: Review of strategy, instrumentation and performance
F. Matichard, B. Lantz, R. Mittleman +49
Isolating ground-based interferometric gravitational wave observatories from environmental disturbances is one of the great challenges of the advanced detector era. In order to dir…
