Cover Story: The suppression of displacements and angular motion of test masses by seismic isolation and control systems is one of the main challenges for the operation of gravitational-wave detectors. There was strong evidence during the last observation run of the Advanced LIGO detectors that noise associated with residual angular motion of the test masses led to sensitivity limitations below a few tens of Hertz. Angular motion of test masses is notoriously difficult to model since it gains relevance mostly through non-linear dynamics of a complex system. With Lightsaber, we present a first nonlinear, time-domain simulation of these dynamics with realistic noise inputs. Detailed comparisons between Lightsaber simulations and observations will hopefully lead to an improved understanding of this noise and help to develop methods to reduce it. View this paper

The prompt emission of most gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) typically exhibits a non-thermal Band component. The synchrotron radiation in the popular internal shock model is generally put forward to explain such a non-thermal component. However, the low-ener...
