Searches for continuous gravitational waves from nine young supernova remnants

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +887

We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science data run. The targets were nine young supernova remnants not associated with pu…

On the Dynamics of Ultra Compact X-ray Binaries: 4U 1850-087, 4U 0513-40 and M15 X-2

Snezana Prodan, Norman Murray

In this work we extend our dynamical study of Ultra Compact X-ray Binaries (UCXB) 4U 1820-30 from Prodan and Murray 2012 to three more UCXBs in globular clusters: 4U 1850-087, 4U 0…

An Open-Source Neutrino Radiation Hydrodynamics Code for Core-Collapse Supernovae

Evan O'Connor

We present an open-source update to the spherically-symmetric, general-relativistic hydrodynamics, core-collapse supernova (CCSN) code GR1D (O'Connor & Ott, 2010, CQG, 27, 114103).…

Parameter estimation for binary neutron-star coalescences with realistic noise during the Advanced LIGO era

Christopher P. L. Berry, Ilya Mandel, Hannah Middleton +15

Advanced ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors begin operation imminently. Their intended goal is not only to make the first direct detection of GWs, but also to make infe…

Detection of Galactic Center source G2 at 3.8 m during periapse passage

Gunther Witzel, Andrea M. Ghez, Mark R. Morris +14

We report new observations of the Galactic Center source G2 from the W. M. Keck Observatory. G2 is a dusty red object associated with gas that shows tidal interactions as it nears…

A Global Three Dimensional Radiation Magneto-hydrodynamic Simulation of Super-Eddington Accretion Disks

Yan-Fei Jiang, James M. Stone, Shane W. Davis

We study super-Eddington accretion flows onto black holes using a global three dimensional radiation magneto-hydrodynamical simulation. We solve the time dependent radiative transf…
