Utilizing aLIGO Glitch Classifications to Validate Gravitational-Wave Candidates
Derek Davis, Laurel V. White, Peter R. Saulson
Advanced LIGO data contains numerous noise transients, or "glitches", that have been shown to reduce the sensitivity of matched filter searches for gravitational waves from compact…
"Sufficiently Advanced Technology" for Gravitational Wave Detection
Peter R. Saulson
The science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke wrote, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." While not magical by any means, the technology used to de…
The PyCBC search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence
Samantha A. Usman, Alexander H. Nitz, Ian W. Harry +18
We describe the PyCBC search for gravitational waves from compact-object binary coalescences in advanced gravitational-wave detector data. The search was used in the first Advanced…
Large-angle scattered light measurements for quantum-noise filter cavity design studies
Fabian Magaña-Sandoval, Rana Adhikari, Valera Frolov +5
Optical loss from scattered light could limit the performance of quantum-noise filter cavities being considered for an upgrade to the Advanced LIGO gravitational-wave detectors. Th…
A hierarchical method for vetoing noise transients in gravitational-wave detectors
Joshua R Smith, Thomas Abbott, Eiichi Hirose +5
Non-Gaussian noise transients in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors increase the background in searches for short-duration and un-modelled signals. We describe a method f…
Angular instability due to radiation pressure in the LIGO gravitational wave detector
Eiichi Hirose, Keita Kawabe, Daniel Sigg +2
We observed the effect of radiation pressure on the angular sensing and control system of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) interferometer's core optic…
