Searching systematically for coupling of laser and phase-modulation noise in heterodyne interferometry
Kohei Yamamoto, Olaf Hartwig, Lennart Wissel +3
Heterodyne interferometry for precision science often comes with an optical phase modulation, for example, for intersatellite clock noise transfer for gravitational wave (GW) detec…
Environmental Noise in Advanced LIGO Detectors
P. Nguyen, R. M. S. Schofield, A. Effler +215
The sensitivity of the Advanced LIGO detectors to gravitational waves can be affected by environmental disturbances external to the detectors themselves. Since the transition from…
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna: Unveiling the Millihertz Gravitational Wave Sky
John Baker, Jillian Bellovary, Peter L. Bender +39
The first terrestrial gravitational wave interferometers have dramatically underscored the scientific value of observing the Universe through an entirely different window, and of f…
Identification and mitigation of narrow spectral artifacts that degrade searches for persistent gravitational waves in the first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO
P. B. Covas, A. Effler, E. Goetz +260
Searches are under way in Advanced LIGO and Virgo data for persistent gravitational waves from continuous sources, e.g. rapidly rotating galactic neutron stars, and stochastic sour…
Effects of transients in LIGO suspensions on searches for gravitational waves
M. Walker, T. D. Abbott, S. M. Aston +200
This paper presents an analysis of the transient behavior of the Advanced LIGO suspensions used to seismically isolate the optics. We have characterized the transients in the longi…
Observation of Parametric Instability in Advanced LIGO
Matthew Evans, Slawek Gras, Peter Fritschel +41
Parametric instabilities have long been studied as a potentially limiting effect in high-power interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Until now, however, these instabilities…
