Observing and evading quantum back-action on a kilogram-scale oscillator

Begüm Kabagöz, Eric Oelker, Dhruva Ganapathy +203

Continuous quantum displacement measurements are fundamentally limited by a trade-off between readout imprecision and measurement back-action, constrained by the Heisenberg uncerta…

LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run

J. Glanzer, A. F. Helmling-Cornell, A. Calafat +244

LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable…

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…

Narrow spectral artifact investigation and mitigation in LIGO data from the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

E. Goetz, A. Neunzert, A. M. Knee +258

We present efforts to identify, characterize, and mitigate narrow spectral artifacts in LIGO detector data during the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Narrow spectral artifac…

Sub-Torque-Balance Upper Limits on Continuous Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1836

We present the results of a search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1 using LIGO data from the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA…

GWTC-5.0: Population Properties of Merging Compact Binaries

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1813

We present the population properties of merging compact binaries inferred using 267 mergers from the cumulative Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog 5.0. As this data set contains…
