All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients with LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +934
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in two sets of data collected by the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston detectors between November…
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…
Coherent Cancellation of Photothermal Noise in GaAs/AlGaAs Bragg Mirrors
Tara Chalermsongsak, Evan D. Hall, Garrett D. Cole +7
Thermal noise is a limiting factor in many high-precision optical experiments. A search is underway for novel optical materials with reduced thermal noise. One such pair of materia…
Towards the Laboratory Search for Space-Time Dissipation
Huan Yang, Larry R. Price, Nicolas D. Smith +3
It has been speculated that gravity could be an emergent phenomenon, with classical general relativity as an effective, macroscopic theory, valid only for classical systems at larg…
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…
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…
