Advanced Virgo: a second-generation interferometric gravitational wave detector

F. Acernese, M. Agathos, K. Agatsuma et al. · 18 Dec 2014

Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detection rate) by three orders of magnitude. The project is now in an advanced construction phase and the assembly and integration will be completed by the end of…

Advanced LIGO

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott et al. · 3 Mar 2015

The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors are second-generation instruments designed and built for the two LIGO observatories in Hanford, WA and Livingston, LA, USA. The two instruments are identical in design, and are specialized versions of a Michelson interferometer with 4 km long arms. As in Initial LIGO, Fabry–Perot cavities are used in the arms…

The Einstein Telescope: a third-generation gravitational wave observatory

M. Punturo, M. R. Abernathy, F. Acernese et al. · 21 Sep 2010

Advanced gravitational wave interferometers, currently under realization, will soon permit the detection of gravitational waves from astronomical sources. To open the era of precision gravitational wave astronomy, a further substantial improvement in sensitivity is required. The future space-based Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and the third-generation ground-based observatory Einstein Telescope (ET) promise to achieve the required…

Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes

Emanuele Berti, Vítor Cardoso, Andrei O. Starinets · 24 Jul 2009

Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems. Perturbations of classical gravitational backgrounds involving black holes or branes naturally lead to quasinormal modes. The analysis and classification of the quasinormal spectra require solving non-Hermitian eigenvalue problems for the associated linear differential equations. Within the recently developed gauge-gravity duality, these modes serve as an important tool for…

TianQin: a space-borne gravitational wave detector

Jun Luo, Li-Sheng Chen, Hui-Zong Duan et al. · 12 Jan 2016

TianQin is a proposal for a space-borne detector of gravitational waves in the millihertz frequencies. The experiment relies on a constellation of three drag-free spacecraft orbiting the Earth. Inter-spacecraft laser interferometry is used to monitor the distances between the test masses. The experiment is designed to be capable of detecting a signal with high confidence…

Classical and Quantum Gravity template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Classical and Quantum Gravity format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Classical and Quantum Gravity template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Classical and Quantum Gravity use?
Classical and Quantum Gravity uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Classical and Quantum Gravity 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Classical and Quantum Gravity?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Classical and Quantum Gravity document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Classical and Quantum Gravity template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Classical and Quantum Gravity format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Classical and Quantum Gravity?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Classical and Quantum Gravity PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Classical and Quantum Gravity template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Classical and Quantum Gravity template cost?
