LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run
J. Glanzer, A. F. Helmling-Cornell, A. Calafat +244
LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable…
LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Site selection constraints and options for LILA-Pioneer and LILA-Horizon
James Trippe, Ronald Polidan, Teviet Creighton +6
The Earth's Moon presents a uniquely advantageous environment for detecting astrophysical gravitational waves (GWs), particularly in the scientifically interesting deciHz regime. T…
deci-Hz Gravitational Wave Observations on the Moon and Beyond
Emanuele Berti, Marica Branchesi, Alessandra Buonanno +21
This document summarizes talks and discussions from the workshop "deci-Hz Gravitational Wave Observations on the Moon and Beyond" that took place at Johns Hopkins University betwee…
Potential for Lunar Interior Science by the Gravitational-Wave Detector LILA
Mark P. Panning, Philippe Lognonné, Teviet Creighton +4
The Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA), a concept for measuring sub-Hz gravitational waves on the Moon, would use laser strainmeters to obtain extremely sensitive strain mea…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run
S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232
Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…
