High-vacuum-compatible high-power Faraday isolators for gravitational-wave interferometers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Faraday isolators play a key role in the operation of large-scale gravitational-wave detectors. Second-generation gravitational-wave interferometers such as the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Advanced Virgo will ...

Mapping the gravitational wave background [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The gravitational wave sky is expected to have isolated bright sources superimposed on a diffuse gravitational wave background. The background radiation has two components: a confusion limited background from unresolved astrophysical sources; and a ...

Space-borne gravitational wave observatories [PDF]

open access: yesGeneral Relativity and Gravitation, 2014
The paper describes the progress toward a space-borne gravitational wave observatory and its foreseeable science potential. In particular the paper describes the status of the LISA-like mission called eLISA, the reference mission for the Gravitational Universe theme adopted by ESA for its Large mission L3, and the status of its precursor LISA ...

Gravitational Waves: New Observatories for New Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yesThe Physics Teacher, 2006
This article reviews the current status of gravitational wave astronomy and explains why astronomers are excited about the new generation of gravitational wave detectors. As part of the review we compare and contrast gravitational radiation to the more familiar electromagnetic radiation.

Angular instability due to radiation pressure in the LIGO gravitational-wave detector [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We observed the effect of radiation pressure on the angular sensing and control system of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) interferometer’s core optics at LIGO Hanford Observatory.

NANOGrav signal from the end of inflation and the LIGO mass and heavier primordial black holes

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2022
Releasing the 12.5-year pulsar timing array data, the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) has recently reported the evidence for a stochastic common-spectrum which would herald the detection of a stochastic ...

Gravitational waves in Newton’s gravitation and criticism of gravitational waves resulting from the General Theory of Relativity (LIGO)

open access: yesҚарағанды университетінің хабаршысы. Физика сериясы, 2019
The most important conclusion from this article is that from the General Theory of Relativity do not result any gravitational waves, but just ordinary modulation of the gravitational field intensities caused by rotating of bodies.

GEO600: building a gravitational wave observatory [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of International Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics — PoS(HEP2005), 2007
An international network of laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors is nearing the end of the main commissioning phase and will soon enter into an extended observational period, collecting data for a duration of order one year. This article outlines the construction, design and commissioning of the GEO 600 gravitational wave observatory. GEO

Sensing and control in dual-recycling laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We introduce length-sensing and control schemes for the dual-recycled cavity-enhanced Michelson interferometer configuration proposed for the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO).
