LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run

J. Glanzer, A. F. Helmling-Cornell, A. Calafat +244

LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable…

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…

Narrow spectral artifact investigation and mitigation in LIGO data from the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

E. Goetz, A. Neunzert, A. M. Knee +258

We present efforts to identify, characterize, and mitigate narrow spectral artifacts in LIGO detector data during the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Narrow spectral artifac…

LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run

S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232

Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…

Reducing controls noise in gravitational wave detectors with interferometric local damping of suspended optics

J van Dongen, L Prokhorov, S J Cooper +15

Control noise is a limiting factor in the low-frequency performance of the LIGO gravitational wave detectors. In this paper we model the effects of using new sensors called HoQIs t…
