Alignment sensing and control in advanced LIGO

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model of the alignment sensing and control scheme of aLIGO which takes into account radiation pressure effects and meets the noise target, in order to design the control strategy for keeping the mirrors well aligned.

Sensitivity Achieved by the LIGO and Virgo Gravitational Wave Detectors during LIGO's Sixth and Virgo's Second and Third Science Runs

J. Abadie, +797 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the sensitivity achieved by the LIGO and Virgo detectors for low-mass compact binary coalescence (CBC) searches during the LigO's sixth science run and the Virgo's second and third science runs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for gravitational radiation from intermediate mass black hole binaries in data from the second LIGO-Virgo joint science run

J. Aasi, +872 more
- 12 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an unmodeled, all-sky search for gravitational waves from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHB) was performed on data from the second joint science run of the LIGO and Virgo detectors (July 2009-October 2010).
Journal ArticleDOI

J. Abadie, +875 more
- 04 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first joint search for a stochastic background using data from the LIGO and Virgo interferometers in a frequency band of 600-1000 Hz.
