在2009-2010年期间，激光干涉仪引力波观测站(LIGO)与国际伙伴室女座和GEO600一起作为一个网络运行，以搜索来自天体物理的引力波。这些探测器的灵敏度受到仪器设计及其环境固有的噪声源的组合的限制，这些噪声源通常在时间或频率上局限于耦合到GW读数的噪声源。在这里，我们回顾了LIGO仪器在这一时期的性能，为表征探测器及其数据所做的工作，以及瞬时和连续噪声伪影对LIGO对各种天体物理源的灵敏度的影响。
In 2009-2010, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) operated together with international partners Virgo and GEO600 as a network to search for gravitational waves (GWs) of astrophysical origin. The sensitivity of these detectors was limited by a combination of noise sources inherent to the instrumental design and its environment, often localized in time or frequency, that couple into the GW readout. Here we review the performance of the LIGO instruments during this epoch, the work done to characterize the detectors and their data, and the effect that transient and continuous noise artefacts have on the sensitivity of LIGO to a variety of astrophysical sources.
