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…
Integrated cosmological memory: A dark-siren method to probe dark energy
Indranil Chakraborty, Sayantan Ghosh, Susmita Jana +2
Gravitational-wave (GW) cosmology is currently bottlenecked by the scarcity of electromagnetic counterparts for bright sirens and the systematic uncertainties of galaxy catalogs fo…
Leveraging cross-detector parameter consistency measures to enhance sensitivities of gravitational wave searches
Sayantan Ghosh, Leigh Smith, Jiyoon Sun +3
All-sky searches for generic short-duration astrophysical GW transients are often challenging because of noise transients. Developing novel signal-noise discriminators is crucial f…
Enhancing search pipelines for short gravitational wave transients with Gaussian mixture modelling
Leigh Smith, Sayantan Ghosh, Jiyoon Sun +3
We present an enhanced method for the application of Gaussian Mixture Modelling (GMM) to the coherent WaveBurst (cWB) algorithm in the search for short-duration gravitational wave…
Unmasking noise transients masquerading as intermediate-mass black hole binaries
Sayantan Ghosh, Koustav Chandra, Archana Pai
In the first three observation runs, ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors have observed close to 100 compact binary coalescence (CBC) events. The GW detection rates for C…
