LIGO: Identifying Gravitational Waves

1997
We discuss the statistical challenges presented by data from large-scale gravitational-wave interferometers now under construction. Extracting information from signals requires measuring parameters, and sophisticated algorithms may be required to attain maximal possible accuracy.

LIGO data analysis

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2003
Abstract Gravitational waves promise to provide new information about massive astrophysical objects in the universe. Technological advances and engineering experience have finally made it feasible to construct detectors with sufficient sensitivity to detect the extremely weak waves which are believed to reach Earth.

LIGO Vacuum System Study

Journal of the IEST, 1989
A laser interferometer gravitational wave observatory (LIGO) is being developed with sensitivities that will have a high probability of detecting gravitational waves from astrophysical sources. Detectors are also planned by others in Europe and eventually in space.

Dieci volte LIGO

2015
Dopo una fase di aggiornamenti, l'osservatorio LIGO è ora 10 volte più sensibile nella ricerca delle onde gravitazionali di origine cosmica. Ribattezzato Advanced LIGO, viene inaugurato oggi negli USA.

Calibration of the LIGO detectors for the First LIGO Science Run

Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2003
We describe the calibration procedures applied to the data taken by the three LIGO interferometric gravitational wave detectors in the LIGO Science Collaborations First Science Run, from 23 August to 9 September 2002. The calibration depends on corrections to feedback servos used in the instrument, and on changing optical gains.

LIGO and Astronomy

Inference: International Review of Science, 2016
Though some American astronomers were reluctant to accept that gravitational wave physics is indeed astronomy, this was not at all the case in France.

Cosmology and LIGO

1996
The most promising anticipated source for the United States Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) [1], or its French/Italian counterpart VIRGO [4], is the radiation emitted during the final moments of inspirai before the coalescence of a neutron star — neutron star (ns-ns) binary system [24].

LIGO: An Overview

1996
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is being developed to detect gravitational waves emitted from Astrophysical sources. The facility will consist of two widely separated laboratories housing highly sensitive long baseline interferometers using suspended test masses. The technique and status of the project are discussed.

An overview of LIGO

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1995
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational‐Wave Observatory (LIGO) is part of an international effort to search for gravitational waves emitted by astrophysical sources. Detector sites at Hanford, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana, will consist of interferometers to detect the small displacements of suspended test masses induced by the gravitational ...
