Searching for the most powerful thermonuclear X-ray bursts with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory

J. J. M. in 't Zand, M. J. W. Kries, D. M. Palmer +1

We searched for thermonuclear X-ray bursts from Galactic neutron stars in all event mode data of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory collected until March 31, 2018. In particular, w…

A Search for Optical Emission from Binary-Black-Hole Merger GW170814 with the Dark Energy Camera

Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, K. Herner +96

Binary black hole (BBH) mergers found by the LIGO and Virgo detectors are of immense scientific interest to the astrophysics community, but are considered unlikely to be sources of…

Searching for Dark Matter Sub-structure with HAWC

A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +75

Simulations of dark matter show a discrepancy between the expected number of Galactic dark matter sub-halos and how many have been optically observed. Some of these unseen satellit…

Fermi-LAT counterparts of IceCube neutrinos above 100 TeV

F. Krauß, K. Deoskar, C. Baxter +7

The IceCube Collaboration has published four years of data and the observed neutrino flux is significantly in excess of the expected atmospheric background. Due to the steeply fall…
