Identification of Noise-Associated Glitches in KAGRA O3GK with Hveto

T. Akutsu, M. Ando, M. Aoumi +148

Transient noise ("glitches") in gravitational wave detectors can mimic or obscure true signals, significantly reducing detection sensitivity. Identifying and excluding glitch-conta…

Full Band All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099

We report on a new all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 475-2000 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0e-8, +1e-9] Hz/s. Pot…

Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042

Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. Th…
