Identification and mitigation of narrow spectral artifacts that degrade searches for persistent gravitational waves in the first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO
P. B. Covas, A. Effler, E. Goetz +260
Searches are under way in Advanced LIGO and Virgo data for persistent gravitational waves from continuous sources, e.g. rapidly rotating galactic neutron stars, and stochastic sour…
Effects of transients in LIGO suspensions on searches for gravitational waves
M. Walker, T. D. Abbott, S. M. Aston +200
This paper presents an analysis of the transient behavior of the Advanced LIGO suspensions used to seismically isolate the optics. We have characterized the transients in the longi…
Quantum correlation measurements in interferometric gravitational wave detectors
D. V. Martynov, V. V. Frolov, S. Kandhasamy +199
Quantum fluctuations in the phase and amplitude quadratures of light set limitations on the sensitivity of modern optical instruments. The sensitivity of the interferometric gravit…
First Demonstration of Electrostatic Damping of Parametric Instability at Advanced LIGO
Carl Blair, Slawek Gras, Richard Abbott +16
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors operate with high optical power in their arms in order to achieve high shot-noise limited strain sensitivity. A significant limitation…
LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
