First measurements of high frequency cross-spectra from a pair of large Michelson interferometers

Aaron S. Chou, Richard Gustafson, Craig Hogan +10

Measurements are reported of the cross-correlation of spectra of differential position signals from the Fermilab Holometer, a pair of co-located 39 m long, high power Michelson int…

Arm-length stabilisation for interferometric gravitational-wave detectors using frequency-doubled auxiliary lasers

Adam J. Mullavey, Bram J. J. Slagmolen, John Miller +6

Residual motion of the arm cavity mirrors is expected to prove one of the principal impediments to systematic lock acquisition in advanced gravitational-wave interferometers. We pr…

Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…

DC readout experiment in Enhanced LIGO

Tobin T. Fricke, Nicolas D. Smith-Lefebvre, Richard Abbott +9

The two 4 km long gravitational wave detectors operated by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) were modified in 2008 to read out the gravitational wave c…

A search for gravitational waves associated with the August 2006 timing glitch of the Vela pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +499

The physical mechanisms responsible for pulsar timing glitches are thought to excite quasi-normal mode oscillations in their parent neutron star that couple to gravitational wave e…
