On August 17, 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of this gravitational wave signal, GW170817, offers a novel opportunity to directly probe the properties of matter at the extreme conditions found in the interior of these st...
On August 17, 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors observed a low-mass compact binary inspiral. The initial sky localization of the source of the gravitational-wave signal, GW170817, allowed electromagnetic observatories to identify NGC 4993 as the host galaxy. In this work we improve initial estimates of the bina...
This paper presents an efficient highfrequency analysis framework for studying diffraction occurring at irises, or baffles, in the arms of a Fabry-Perot optical interferometer, relevant to the design and operation of interferometric detectors of gravitational waves like LIGO and Virgo.
