The NANOGrav 11-Year Data Set: Limits on Gravitational Waves from Individual Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

K. Aggarwal, Z. Arzoumanian, P. T. Baker +60

Observations indicate that nearly all galaxies contain supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at their centers. When galaxies merge, their component black holes form SMBH binaries (SMBHB…

Distilled Wasserstein Learning for Word Embedding and Topic Modeling

Hongteng Xu, Wenlin Wang, Wei Liu +1

We propose a novel Wasserstein method with a distillation mechanism, yielding joint learning of word embeddings and topics. The proposed method is based on the fact that the Euclid…

The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: The Frequency Dependence of Pulse Jitter in Precision Millisecond Pulsars

M. T. Lam, M. A. McLaughlin, Z. Arzoumanian +25

Low-frequency gravitational-wave experiments require the highest timing precision from an array of the most stable millisecond pulsars. Several known sources of noise on short time…

Predicting Smoking Events with a Time-Varying Semi-Parametric Hawkes Process Model

Matthew Engelhard, Hongteng Xu, Lawrence Carin +3

Health risks from cigarette smoking -- the leading cause of preventable death in the United States -- can be substantially reduced by quitting. Although most smokers are motivated…

PSR J2234+0611: A new laboratory for stellar evolution

K. Stovall, P. C. C. Freire, J. Antoniadis +30

We report timing results for PSR J2234+0611, a 3.6-ms pulsar in a 32-day, eccentric (e = 0.13) orbit with a helium white dwarf companion discovered as part of the Arecibo Observato…

Noise-marginalized optimal statistic: A robust hybrid frequentist-Bayesian statistic for the stochastic gravitational-wave background in pulsar timing arrays

Sarah J. Vigeland, Kristina Islo, Stephen R. Taylor +1

Observations have revealed that nearly all galaxies contain supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at their centers. When galaxies merge, these SMBHs form SMBH binaries (SMBHBs) that emi…
