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…
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…
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…
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…
