LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…

Search for continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars in five globular clusters in the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
Damon H. T. Cheung, Keith Riles, Rafel Amengual +14
We present the results of directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars in five Milky Way globular clusters. We carry out the searches in the LIGO…
