The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Proposed large scale monolithic fused silica mirror suspension for 3rd generation gravitational wave detectors
A. V. Cumming, R. Jones, G. D. Hammond +3
Thermal noise from the suspension fibres used in the mirror pendulums in current gravitational wave detectors is a critical noise source. Future detectors will require improved sus…
Exploration of co-sputtered TaO-ZrO thin films for gravitational-wave detectors
M. Abernathy, A. Amato, A. Ananyeva +45
We report on the development and extensive characterization of co-sputtered tantala-zirconia thin films, with the goal to decrease coating Brownian noise in present and future grav…
Argon bubble formation in tantalum oxide-based films for gravitational wave interferometer mirrors
Rebecca B. Cummings, Riccardo Bassiri, Iain W. Martin +1
The argon content of titanium dioxide doped tantalum pentoxide thin films was quantified in a spatially resolved way using HAADF images and DualEELS. Films annealed at 300$^{\circ}…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
Improving astrophysical parameter estimation via offline noise subtraction for Advanced LIGO
J. C. Driggers, S. Vitale, A. P. Lundgren +228
The Advanced LIGO detectors have recently completed their second observation run successfully. The run lasted for approximately 10 months and lead to multiple new discoveries. The…
