TL;DR: In this paper, the first measurements of the mechanical loss of such a bond created between sapphire substrates and measured down to cryogenic temperatures were presented, and the resulting thermal noise of the bonds on several possible mirror suspensions was presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run, where they found no significant signal candidate and set the most stringent upper limits to date on the amplitude of gravitational wave signals from the target population.

TL;DR: In this article, the first results from an all-sky all-frequency (ASAF) search for an anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using the data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors were published.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a weakly modeled burst search for gravitational waves from mergers of nonspinning intermediate mass black holes in the total mass range 100-450 M-circle dot and with the component mass ratios between 1: and 4:1 were presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the root-sum-square amplitude h rss as a function of waveform morphology was used to detect long-duration gravitational-wave transients from Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo.
