fractional laser frequency stability with a 7-cm unequal-arm Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Victor Huarcaya, Miguel Dovale Álvarez, Daniel Penkert +7

To achieve sub-picometer sensitivities in the millihertz band, laser interferometric inertial sensors rely on some form of reduction of the laser frequency noise, typically by lock…

Tracking length and differential wavefront sensing signals from quadrant photodiodes in heterodyne interferometers with digital phase-locked loop readout

Gerhard Heinzel, Miguel Dovale Álvarez, Alvise Pizzella +2

We propose a method to track signals from quadrant photodiodes (QPD) in heterodyne laser interferometers that employ digital phase-locked loops for phase readout. Instead of separa…

Optical suppression of tilt-to-length coupling in the LISA long-arm interferometer

M Chwalla, K Danzmann, M Dovale Álvarez +15

The arm length and the isolation in space enable LISA to probe for signals unattainable on ground, opening a window to the sub-Hz gravitational-wave universe. The coupling of unavo…

Tests of General Relativity with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145

The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…

A Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Search for Electromagnetic Signals Coincident with Gravitational-Wave Candidates in Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run

ray Burst Monitor Team, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +1160

We present a search for prompt gamma-ray counterparts to compact binary coalescence gravitational wave (GW) candidates from Advanced LIGO's first observing run (O1). As demonstrate…

Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138

One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…
