- This paper illustrates the remarkable sensitivity of the Advanced LIGO detectors at the time of the Gravitational Wave discovery. Martynov played a key role in commissioning LIGO, led the campaign to develop an automated procedure for bringing the LIGO detectors into the linear regime, calibrating the detectors, and eliminating a wide variety of noise sources. He provided data for the sensitivity figure (Fig 1), helped develop the noise budget shown in Fig. 3, and contributed to the development of the structure of the paper, as well as the description of technical details such as feedback control and noise sources.
