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…
Narrow spectral artifact investigation and mitigation in LIGO data from the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
E. Goetz, A. Neunzert, A. M. Knee +260
We present efforts to identify, characterize, and mitigate narrow spectral artifacts in LIGO detector data during the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Narrow spectral artifac…
Improving cosmological reach of a gravitational wave observatory using Deep Loop Shaping
Jonas Buchli, Brendan Tracey, Tomislav Andric +28
Improved low-frequency sensitivity of gravitational wave observatories would unlock study of intermediate-mass black hole mergers, binary black hole eccentricity, and provide early…
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…
