Validating gravitational-wave detections: The Advanced LIGO hardware injection system
C. Biwer, D. Barker, J. C. Batch +44
Hardware injections are simulated gravitational-wave signals added to the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). The detectors' test masses are physically disp…
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…
Subtraction of correlated noise in global networks of gravitational-wave interferometers
Michael W. Coughlin, Nelson L. Christensen, Rosario De Rosa +9
The recent discovery of merging black holes suggests that a stochastic gravitational-wave background is within reach of the advanced detector network operating at design sensitivit…
Detecting gravitational-wave memory with LIGO: implications of GW150914
Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane, Yuri Levin +2
It may soon be possible for Advanced LIGO to detect hundreds of binary black hole mergers per year. We show how the accumulation of many such measurements will allow for the detect…
Limits of Astrophysics with Gravitational-Wave Backgrounds
Thomas Callister, Letizia Sammut, Shi Qiu +2
The recent Advanced LIGO detection of gravitational waves from the binary black hole GW150914 suggests there exists a large population of merging binary black holes in the Universe…
