LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+

L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153

We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…

Non-uniform Birefringence in Highly-reflective Substrate-Transferred GaAs/AlGaAs Coatings at 1064 nm

Andri M. Gretarsson, Ambroise L. M. Juston, Benjamin Nicolai +8

Using a custom-built scanning system, we generated maps of birefringence on reflection at ~nm from single-crystal GaAs/AlGaAs Bragg reflectors (henceforth…

pygwb: Python-based library for gravitational-wave background searches

Arianna I. Renzini, Alba Romero-Rodrguez, Colm Talbot +31

The collection of gravitational waves (GWs) that are either too weak or too numerous to be individually resolved is commonly referred to as the gravitational-wave background (GWB).…

Substrate-transferred GaAs/AlGaAs crystalline coatings for gravitational-wave detectors: A review of the state of the art

G. D. Cole, S. Ballmer, G. Billingsley +16

In this Perspective we summarize the status of technological development for large-area and low-noise substrate-transferred GaAs/AlGaAs (AlGaAs) crystalline coatings for interferom…

Properties and astrophysical implications of the 150 Msun binary black hole merger GW190521

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254

The gravitational-wave signal GW190521 is consistent with a binary black hole merger source at redshift 0.8 with unusually high component masses, and $6…
