All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients with LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +934

We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in two sets of data collected by the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston detectors between November…

A search of the Orion spur for continuous gravitational waves using a "loosely coherent" algorithm on data from LIGO interferometers

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +920

We report results of a wideband search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars within the Orion spur towards both the inner and outer regions of our Galaxy. As…

GEO 600 and the GEO-HF upgrade program: successes and challenges

K. L. Dooley, J. R. Leong, T. Adams +25

The German-British laser-interferometric gravitational wave detector GEO 600 is in its 14th year of operation since its first lock in 2001. After GEO 600 participated in science ru…

Alignment sensing and control for squeezed vacuum states of light

Emil Schreiber, Kathrine L. Dooley, Henning Vahlbruch +10

Beam alignment is an important practical aspect of the application of squeezed states of light. Misalignments in the detection of squeezed light result in a reduction of the observ…

Cost-benefit analysis for commissioning decisions in GEO600

T. Adams, J. R. Leong, J. Slutsky +17

Gravitational wave interferometers are complex instruments, requiring years of commissioning to achieve the required sensitivities for the detection of gravitational waves, of orde…
