Change in Pitch Drift of Optics during 6 July 2017 EQ

Beverly, Josh

The pitch drift value of several quad and triple optics (especially ETMX, ETMY, ITMX, ITMY) changed substantially (e.g., 200urad for ETMX) during the 6 July 2017 Montana EQ and the change persisted for most of them. A list of Summary Page links to the pitch drift for most of the optics on 6 July is given below. The attached table of images includes the actual graphs (middle column) along with the same quantity on 4 July (first column) and 25 July (3rd column) to check for persistence. Note that the actual transition is visible on 6 July, the day of the EQ. On days before and after the EQ, there is not much change within a given day but the numbers on the vertical axis indicates the qualitative value of the pitch drift.

The trends for ETMX pitch, yaw, and vertical are shown in Figs. 1-3. Pitch changes significantly but the yaw and vertical do not.. Note that the quake time is 2017-07-06 06:30:16.5 UTC, or 2 days 6:30 on the plots in Figs. 1-3, which is quite consistent with the pitch jump.
