Audio-band Coating Thermal Noise Measurement for Advanced LIGO with a Multi-mode Optical Resonator

S. Gras, H. Yu, W. Yam +2

In modern high precision optical instruments, such as in gravitational wave detectors or frequency references, thermally induced fluctuations in the reflective coatings can be a li…

A continuously tunable modulation scheme for precision control of optical cavities with variable detuning

William Yam, Emily Davis, Sarah Ackley +2

We present a scheme for locking optical cavities with arbitrary detuning many line widths from resonance using an electro-optic modulator that can provide arbitrary ratios of ampli…

Multi-Material Coatings with Reduced Thermal Noise

William Yam, Slawek Gras, Matthew Evans

The most sensitive measurements of time and space are made with resonant optical cavities, and these measurements are limited by coating thermal noise. The mechanical and optical p…

Update on the Cetus Polar Stream and its Progenitor

William Yam, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Heidi Jo Newberg +4

We trace the Cetus Polar Stream (CPS) with blue horizontal branch (BHB) and red giant stars (RGBs) from Data Release 8 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR8). Using a larger da…

The Origin of the Virgo Stellar Substructure

Jeffrey L. Carlin, William Yam, Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu +4

We present three-dimensional space velocities of stars selected to be consistent with membership in the Virgo stellar substructure. Candidates were selected from SA 103, a single 4…
