LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Observing Runs
D. Davis, J. S. Areeda, B. K. Berger +284
The characterization of the Advanced LIGO detectors in the second and third observing runs has increased the sensitivity of the instruments, allowing for a higher number of detecta…
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…
Sensitivity and Performance of the Advanced LIGO Detectors in the Third Observing Run
LIGO Instrument Science List, :, A. Buikema +197
On April 1st, 2019, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (aLIGO), joined by the Advanced Virgo detector, began the third observing run, a year-long dedi…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
Improving astrophysical parameter estimation via offline noise subtraction for Advanced LIGO
J. C. Driggers, S. Vitale, A. P. Lundgren +228
The Advanced LIGO detectors have recently completed their second observation run successfully. The run lasted for approximately 10 months and lead to multiple new discoveries. The…
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…
