A Joint Fermi-GBM and LIGO/Virgo Analysis of Compact Binary Mergers From the First and Second Gravitational-wave Observing Runs

Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team, +1262 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results from offline searches of Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) data for gamma-ray transients coincident with the compact binary coalescences observed by the gravitational-wave (GW) detectors Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during their first and second observing runs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum-limited optical phase detection at the 10(-10)-rad level.

TL;DR: A laboratory-scale interferometer is built to achieve and investigate the phase detection sensitivity required for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, and the phase sensitivity over the full 100-Hz-10-kHz band of interest has been improved by factors of up to 100, with a factor-of-2.5 improvement in the quantum-limited level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low scatter and ultra-low reflectivity measured in a fused silica window

TL;DR: Results indicate that modern antireflection coatings have low enough scatter to not limit the total backscattering of thick fused silica optics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced LIGO Laser Systems for O3 and Future Observation Runs

TL;DR: In this article, a pre-stabilized laser system with 70 W of output power was used in the third observing run of the advanced LIGO detectors, and the prototype of a 140 W prestabilised laser system for future use in the LigO observatories was described and characterized.
Journal Article

First low-frequency Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in Advanced LIGO data

B. P. Abbott, +1039 more
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.
