Gravitational-wave astronomy with a physical calibration model

Ethan Payne, Colm Talbot, Paul D. Lasky +2

We carry out astrophysical inference for compact binary merger events in LIGO-Virgo's first gravitational-wave transient catalog (GWTC-1) using a physically motivated calibration m…

physiCal: A physical approach to the marginalization of LIGO calibration uncertainties

Salvatore Vitale, Carl-Johan Haster, Ling Sun +4

The data from ground based gravitational-wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO and Virgo must be calibrated to convert the digital output of photodetectors into a relative displacem…

Improving the Robustness of the Advanced LIGO Detectors to Earthquakes

Eyal Schwartz, A Pele, J Warner +196

Teleseismic, or distant, earthquakes regularly disrupt the operation of ground--based gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Here, we present \emph{EQ mode}, a new glo…

Reducing Scattered Light in LIGO's Third Observing Run

S Soni, C Austin, A Effler +195

Noise due to scattered light has been a frequent disturbance in the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors, hindering the detection of gravitational waves. The non stationary s…

Characterization of systematic error in Advanced LIGO calibration

Ling Sun, Evan Goetz, Jeffrey S. Kissel +23

The raw outputs of the detectors within the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory need to be calibrated in order to produce the estimate of the dimensionless…
