Long gravitational-wave transients and associated detection strategies for a network of terrestrial interferometers
Eric Thrane, Shivaraj Kandhasamy, Christian D Ott +10
Searches for gravitational waves (GWs) traditionally focus on persistent sources (e.g., pulsars or the stochastic background) or on transients sources (e.g., compact binary inspira…
A search for gravitational waves associated with the August 2006 timing glitch of the Vela pulsar
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +499
The physical mechanisms responsible for pulsar timing glitches are thought to excite quasi-normal mode oscillations in their parent neutron star that couple to gravitational wave e…
Timing Measurements of the Relativistic Binary Pulsar PSR B1913+16
Joel M. Weisberg, David J. Nice, Joseph H. Taylor
We present results of more than three decades of timing measurements of the first known binary pulsar, PSR B1913+16. Like most other pulsars, its rotational behavior over such long…
Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Six Magnetars
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +765
Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are thought to be magnetars: neutron stars powered by extreme magnetic fields. These rare objects are characterized b…
Discovery of the first methanol (CH3OH) maser in the Andromeda galaxy (M31)
Lorant O. Sjouwerman, Claire E. Murray, Ylva M. Pihlstrom +2
We present the first detection of a 6.7 GHz Class II methanol (CH3OH) maser in the Andromeda galaxy (M31). The CH3OH maser was found in a Very Large Array (VLA) survey during the f…
Minimum-Area Enclosing Triangle with a Fixed Angle
Prosenjit Bose, Jean-Lou De Carufel
Given a set S of n points in the plane and a fixed angle 0 < omega < pi, we show how to find in O(n log n) time all triangles of minimum area with one angle omega that enclose S. W…
Quantum invariants of random 3-manifolds
Nathan M. Dunfield, Helen Wong
We consider the SO(3) Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum invariants of random 3-manifolds. When the level r is prime, we show that the asymptotic distribution of the absolute value…
Kauffman brackets, character varieties, and triangulations of surfaces
Francis Bonahon, Helen Wong
A Kauffman bracket on a surface is an invariant for framed links in the thickened surface, satisfying the Kauffman skein relation and multiplicative under superposition. This inclu…
Calibration of the LIGO Gravitational Wave Detectors in the Fifth Science Run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +538
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a network of three detectors built to detect local perturbations in the space-time metric from astrophysical sourc…
Arecibo Multi-Epoch HI Absorption Measurements Against Pulsars: Tiny-Scale Atomic Structure
S. Stanimirovic, J. M. Weisberg, Z. Pei +2
We present results from multi-epoch neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption observations of six bright pulsars with the Arecibo telescope. Moving through the interstellar medium (ISM) wit…
Physical characteristics and non-keplerian orbital motion of "propeller" moons embedded in Saturn's rings
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Joseph A. Burns, Miodrag Sremčević +8
We report the discovery of several large "propeller" moons in the outer part of Saturn's A ring, objects large enough to be followed over the 5-year duration of the Cassini mission…
Characterization of the seismic environment at the Sanford Underground Laboratory, South Dakota
Jan Harms, Fausto Acernese, Fabrizio Barone +18
An array of seismometers is being developed at the Sanford Underground Laboratory, the former Homestake mine, in South Dakota to study the properties of underground seismic fields…
First search for gravitational waves from the youngest known neutron star
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +537
We present a search for periodic gravitational waves from the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The search coherently analyzes data in a 12-day interval taken fro…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO and Virgo Data from S5 and VSR1
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
We report the results of the first search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence using data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors. Five months of data were collected d…
Methods for Reducing False Alarms in Searches for Compact Binary Coalescences in LIGO Data
J. Slutsky, L. Blackburn, D. A. Brown +17
The LIGO detectors are sensitive to a variety of noise transients of non-astrophysical origin. Instrumental glitches and environmental disturbances increase the false alarm rate in…
Predictions for the Rates of Compact Binary Coalescences Observable by Ground-based Gravitational-wave Detectors
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +709
We present an up-to-date, comprehensive summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the Initial and Advanced versions of the ground-based…
All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
We present results from an all-sky search for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO, GEO 600 and Virgo detectors between November 2006 and October 2…
Search for gravitational-wave inspiral signals associated with short Gamma-Ray Bursts during LIGO's fifth and Virgo's first science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +665
Progenitor scenarios for short gamma-ray bursts (short GRBs) include coalescenses of two neutron stars or a neutron star and black hole, which would necessarily be accompanied by t…
Quantum traces for representations of surface groups in SL_2
Francis Bonahon, Helen Wong
We consider two different quantizations of the character variety consisting of all representations of surface groups in SL_2. One is the skein algebra considered by Przytycki-Sikor…
