Open data from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1245
Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo are actively monitoring the sky and collecting gravitational-wave strain data with sufficient sensitivity to detect signals routinely. In this pape…
A phase-sensitive optomechanical amplifier for quantum noise reduction in laser interferometers
Yuntao Bai, Gautam Venugopalan, Kevin Kuns +5
The sensitivity of future gravitational wave interferometers is expected to be limited through-out the detection band by quantum vacuum fluctuations, which can be reduced by quantu…
Astrophysics and cosmology with a decihertz gravitational-wave detector: TianGO
Kevin A. Kuns, Hang Yu, Yanbei Chen +1
We present the astrophysical science case for a space-based, decihertz gravitational-wave (GW) detector. We particularly highlight an ability to infer a source's sky location, both…
Cosmic Explorer: The U.S. Contribution to Gravitational-Wave Astronomy beyond LIGO
David Reitze, Rana X Adhikari, Stefan Ballmer +21
This white paper describes the research and development needed over the next decade to realize "Cosmic Explorer," the U.S. node of a future third-generation detector network that w…
Search for gravitational-wave signals associated with gamma-ray bursts during the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1196
We present the results of targeted searches for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts during the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo,…
Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 in the second Advanced LIGO observing run with an improved hidden Markov model
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1134
We present results from a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to track spin wander…
