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…
Extracting Astrophysical Information of Highly-Eccentric Binaries in the Millihertz Gravitational Wave Band
Zeyuan Xuan, Smadar Naoz, Alvin K. Y. Li +6
Wide, highly eccentric () compact binaries can naturally arise as progenitors of gravitational wave (GW) mergers. These systems are expected to have a significant population…
Coalescing Compact Binary Parameter Estimation with Gravitational Waves in the Presence of non-Gaussian Transient Noise
Yannick Lecoeuche, Jess McIver, Alan M. Knee +7
Data from gravitational-wave (GW) detectors often contains a high rate of non-Gaussian transient noise, known as glitches. The parameters estimated from GW signals coinciding with…
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…
