Elastic and structural anisotropy in silica thin films for gravitational-wave detectors
Brenda Bracco, Michele Magnozzi, Stefano Colace +11
The thermal noise of mirror coatings for gravitational-wave detectors critically depends on the elastic properties of the constituent materials. Data analyses and theoretical model…
Observation of Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a Compact Object and a Neutron Star
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1793
We report the observation of a coalescing compact binary with component masses and (all measurements quoted at the 90% credible le…
Optical and mechanical properties of ion-beam-sputtered MgF thin films for gravitational-wave interferometers
M. Granata, A. Amato, M. Bischi +14
Brownian thermal noise associated with highly reflective coatings is a fundamental limit for several precision experiments, including gravitational-wave detectors. Research is curr…
Exploration of co-sputtered TaO-ZrO thin films for gravitational-wave detectors
M. Abernathy, A. Amato, A. Ananyeva +45
We report on the development and extensive characterization of co-sputtered tantala-zirconia thin films, with the goal to decrease coating Brownian noise in present and future grav…
