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…
Reducing controls noise in gravitational wave detectors with interferometric local damping of suspended optics
J van Dongen, L Prokhorov, S J Cooper +15
Control noise is a limiting factor in the low-frequency performance of the LIGO gravitational wave detectors. In this paper we model the effects of using new sensors called HoQIs t…
Compact integrated optical sensors and electromagnetic actuators for vibration isolation systems in the gravitational-wave detector KAGRA
Tomotada Akutsu, Fabián Erasmo Peña Arellano, Ayaka Shoda +18
This paper reports on the design and characteristics of a compact module integrating an optical displacement sensor and an electromagnetic actuator for use with vibration-isolation…
Application of the independent component analysis to the iKAGRA data
KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +244
We apply the independent component analysis (ICA) to the real data from a gravitational wave detector for the first time. Specifically we use the iKAGRA data taken in April 2016, a…
First cryogenic test operation of underground km-scale gravitational-wave observatory KAGRA
KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +198
KAGRA is a second-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detector with 3-km arms constructed at Kamioka, Gifu in Japan. It is now in its final installation phase, which we c…
Narrow-band search of continuous gravitational-wave signals from Crab and Vela pulsars in Virgo VSR4 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +894
In this paper we present the results of a coherent narrow-band search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the Crab and Vela pulsars conducted on Virgo VSR4 data. In orde…
Implementation and testing of the first prompt search for gravitational wave transients with electromagnetic counterparts
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +815
Aims. A transient astrophysical event observed in both gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) channels would yield rich scientific rewards. A first program initiating EM…
