The dynamic X-ray nebula powered by the pulsar B1259-63

Oleg Kargaltsev, George G. Pavlov, Martin Durant +2

We present observations of the eccentric gamma-ray binary B1259-63/LS2883 with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The images reveal a variable, extended about 4'', or about 1000 times…

New constraints on the cooling of the Central Compact Object in Cas A

B. Posselt, G. G. Pavlov, V. Suleimanov +1

To examine the previously claimed fast cooling of the Central Compact Object (CCO) in the Cas A supernova remnant (SNR), we analyzed two Chandra observations of this CCO, taken in…

Chandra Imaging of Gamma-Ray Binaries

Oleg Kargaltsev, Blagoy Rangelov, Jeremy Hare +1

We review the multiwavelength properties of the few known gamma-ray binaries, focusing on extended emission recently resolved with Chandra. We discuss the implications of these fin…

Search for long-lived gravitational-wave transients coincident with long gamma-ray bursts

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +875

Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been linked to extreme core-collapse supernovae from massive stars. Gravitational waves (GW) offer a probe of the physics behind long GRBs. We inv…

Gravitational waves from known pulsars: results from the initial detector era

J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +892

We present the results of searches for gravitational waves from a large selection of pulsars using data from the most recent science runs (S6, VSR2 and VSR4) of the initial generat…

X - Ray Flares and Their Connection With Prompt Emission in GRBs

E. Sonbas, G. A. MacLachlan, A. Shenoy +2

We use a wavelet technique to investigate the time variations in the light curves from a sample of GRBs detected by Fermi and Swift. We focus primarily on the behavior of the flari…
