STATE of K1: Observation (~200-442 kpc)
Observational Shift: H. Shinkai, K. Yamada
Operator Shift: K. Izumi
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT: Stable
SHIFT SUMMARY:
8:37, officially new redord of BNS range 442kpc!! (Yokozawa-san tried with lower power 3.1W, high frequency sensitivity goes better).
Optical gain is not calibrated well, so the number is temporal and the true value might be ~300kpc at worst.
During this shift, the interferometer is not stable because of rough ocean.
