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…
Non-uniform Birefringence in Highly-reflective Substrate-Transferred GaAs/AlGaAs Coatings at 1064 nm
Andri M. Gretarsson, Ambroise L. M. Juston, Benjamin Nicolai +8
Using a custom-built scanning system, we generated maps of birefringence on reflection at ~nm from single-crystal GaAs/AlGaAs Bragg reflectors (henceforth…
Search for lensing signatures in the gravitational-wave observations from the first half of LIGO-Virgo's third observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1378
We search for signatures of gravitational lensing in the gravitational-wave signals from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during O3a, the fi…
Exploration of co-sputtered TaO-ZrO thin films for gravitational-wave detectors
M. Abernathy, A. Amato, A. Ananyeva +45
We report on the development and extensive characterization of co-sputtered tantala-zirconia thin films, with the goal to decrease coating Brownian noise in present and future grav…
Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Fermi and Swift During the LIGO-Virgo Run O3a
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1250
We search for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the Fermi and Swift satellites during the first part of the third observing run of Advanced…
Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1338
We report on the population of the 47 compact binary mergers detected with a false-alarm rate 1/yr in the second LIGO--Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-2. We observ…
