Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
Dynamical Interactions and the Black Hole Merger Rate of the Universe
Ryan O'Leary, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Frederic Rasio
Binary black holes can form efficiently in dense young stellar clusters, such as the progenitors of globular clusters, via a combination of gravitational segregation and cluster ev…
Formation of Double Compact Objects
V. Kalogera, K. Belczynski, C. Kim +2
Current observations of double neutron stars provide us with a wealth of information that we can use to investigate their evolutionary history and the physical conditions of neutro…
Reducing Thermoelastic Noise in Gravitational-Wave Interferometers by Flattening the Light Beams
Erika D'Ambrosio, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Sergey Strigin +2
In the baseline design for advanced LIGO interferometers, the most serious noise source is tiny, dynamically fluctuating bumps and valleys on the faces of the arm-cavity mirrors, c…
The implications of Mexican-hat mirrors: calculations of thermoelastic noise and interferometer sensitivity to perturbation for the Mexican-hat-mirror proposal for advanced LIGO
R. O'Shaughnessy, S. Strigin, S. Vyatchanin
Thermoelastic noise will be the most significant noise source in advanced-LIGO interferometers with sapphire test masses. The standard plan for advanced-LIGO has optimized the opti…
