DC readout experiment in Enhanced LIGO

TL;DR: The two 4 km long LIGO detectors operated by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) were modified in 2008 to read out the gravitational wave channel using the DC readout form of homodyne detection and to include an optical filter cavity at the output of the detector as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run

B. P. Abbott, +1042 more
- 08 May 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis conducted to specifically search for gravitational-wave bursts from cosmic string loops in the data of Advanced LIGO 2015-2016 observing run (O1) was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence in LIGO and Virgo data from S5 and VSR1

J. Abadie, +716 more
- 05 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: The first search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence using data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and Virgo detectors was reported in this article, which focused on signals from binary mergers with a total mass between 2 and 35M (circle dot).
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermo-optic noise in coated mirrors for high-precision optical measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, thermal fluctuations in the coatings used to make high reflectors are becoming significant noise sources in precision optical measurements and are particularly relevant to advanced gravitational-wave detectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo run

J. Abadie, +667 more
- 05 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented results from an all-sky search for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO, GEO 600 and Virgo detectors between November 2006 and October 2007.
