Laser cooling of a Planck mass object close to the quantum ground state
Leonhard Neuhaus, Remi Metzdorff, Salim Zerkani +13
Quantum mechanics has so far not been tested for mechanical objects at the scale of the Planck mass . We present an experiment where a 1 m…
Towards optomechanical parametric instabilities prediction in ground-based gravitational wave detectors
David Cohen, Annalisa Allocca, Gilles Bogaert +3
Increasing the laser power is essential to improve the sensitivity of interferometric gravitational wave detectors. However, optomechanical parametric instabilities can set a limit…
Edge mode engineering for optimal ultracoherent silicon nitride membranes
E. Ivanov, T. Capelle, M. Rosticher +6
Due to their high force sensitivity, mechanical resonators combining low mechanical dissipation with a small motional mass are highly demanded in fields as diverse as resonant forc…
A guide to LIGO-Virgo detector noise and extraction of transient gravitational-wave signals
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1135
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration have cataloged eleven confidently detected gravitational-wave events during the first two observing runs of the advanc…
Summary of Tests of General Relativity with the Binary Black Hole Signals from the LIGO-Virgo Catalog GWTC-1
Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel
We summarize the four tests of general relativity carried out using the ten binary black hole signals detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo and included in their first catal…
Tests of General Relativity with the Binary Black Hole Signals from the LIGO-Virgo Catalog GWTC-1
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1142
The detection of gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo provides an opportunity to test general relativity in a regime that is inaccessible to traditional astronom…
