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…
Rapid data quality investigations of gravitational-wave events with the Data Quality Report Builder toolkit
Derek Davis, Zach Yarbrough, Joseph Areeda +30
We present the Data Quality Report Builder toolkit, DQRbuild, a suite of data quality tools that have been developed to vet gravitational-wave events in preparation for the fourth…
Tests of General Relativity with GW230529: a neutron star merging with a lower mass-gap compact object
Elise M. Sänger, Soumen Roy, Michalis Agathos +16
On May 29, 2023, the LIGO Livingston observatory detected the gravitational-wave signal GW230529_181500 from the merger of a neutron star with a lower mass-gap compact object. Its…
Automated Evaluation of Environmental Coupling for Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Detections
Adrian Helmling-Cornell, Philippe Nguyen, Robert Schofield +1
The extreme sensitivity required for direct observation of gravitational waves by the Advanced LIGO detectors means that environmental noise is increasingly likely to contaminate A…
Cosmic Explorer: A Submission to the NSF MPSAC ngGW Subcommittee
Matthew Evans, Alessandra Corsi, Chaitanya Afle +73
Gravitational-wave astronomy has revolutionized humanity's view of the universe, a revolution driven by observations that no other field can make. This white paper describes an obs…
Correlated 1-1000 Hz magnetic field fluctuations from lightning over earth-scale distances and their impact on gravitational wave searches
Kamiel Janssens, Matthew Ball, Robert M. S. Schofield +9
We report Earth-scale distance magnetic correlations from lightning strokes in the frequency range 1-1000 Hz at several distances ranging from 1100 to 9000 km. Noise sources which…
