A Tale of Two Calibrators: Comparing Newtonian and Photon Calibration in Advanced LIGO after the Third Observing Run
Dana Jones, Michael P. Ross, Ling Sun +5
Precise calibration of LIGO's strain readout plays a vital role in our ability to extract information from gravitational-wave detections. We present a comparative analysis of two i…
Multi-messenger astronomy with a Southern-Hemisphere gravitational-wave observatory
James W. Gardner, Ling Sun, Ssohrab Borhanian +4
Joint observations of gravitational waves and electromagnetic counterparts will answer questions about cosmology, gamma-ray bursts, and the behaviour of matter at supranuclear dens…
Characterizing Gravitational Wave Detector Networks: From A to Cosmic Explorer
Ish Gupta, Chaitanya Afle, K. G. Arun +44
Gravitational-wave observations by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo have provided us a new tool to explore the Universe on all scales from n…
