GW190521: A Binary Black Hole Merger with a Total Mass of
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1253
On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio…
Finite state machine controls for a source of optical squeezed vacuum
Mateusz Bawaj, Valeria Sequino, Catherine Nguyen +8
In this paper we present a software, developed in the distributed control system environment of the Virgo gravitational-wave detector, for the management of a highly automated opti…
Liquid actuated gravity experiments
Massimo Bassan, Martina De Laurentis, Rosario De Rosa +7
We describe a new actuation technique for gravity experiments based on a liquid field mass. The Characterizing idea is to modulate the gravity force acting on a test mass by contro…
Tests of General Relativity with GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145
The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…
Search for sub-solar mass ultracompact binaries in Advanced LIGO's first observing run
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1135
We present the first Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for ultracompact binary systems with component masses between 0.2 - 1.0 using data taken between Se…
A Search for Tensor, Vector, and Scalar Polarizations in the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1097
The detection of gravitational waves with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo has enabled novel tests of general relativity, including direct study of the polarization of gravitationa…
