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…

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…

LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run

S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232

Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…

An Optically Targeted Search for Gravitational Waves emitted by Core-Collapse Supernovae during the Third Observing Run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

Marek J. Szczepańczyk, Yanyan Zheng, Javier M. Antelis +35

We present the results from a search for gravitational-wave transients associated with core-collapse supernovae observed optically within 30 Mpc during the third observing run of A…
