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…
