Reconstructing the sky location of gravitational-wave detected compact binary systems: methodology for testing and comparison
Trevor Sidery, Ben Aylott, Nelson Christensen +20
The problem of reconstructing the sky position of compact binary coalescences detected via gravitational waves is a central one for future observations with the ground-based networ…
Construction of Directed Strongly Regular Graphs Using Block Matrices
Francis Adams, Alexandra Gendreau, Oktay Olmez +1
The concept of directed strongly regular graphs was introduced by Duval in his paper, A Directed Graph Version of Strongly Regular Graphs. Duval also provided several construction…
Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…
Using Binary Pulsars to Test Lorentz Symmetry in the Gravitational Sector
Joel M. Weisberg
I review some of the major developments in the theoretical background and experimental uses of binary pulsars to explore local Lorentz invariance in the gravitational sector and it…
First Searches for Optical Counterparts to Gravitational-wave Candidate Events
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +904
During the LIGO and Virgo joint science runs in 2009-2010, gravitational wave (GW) data from three interferometer detectors were analyzed within minutes to select GW candidate even…
Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors
J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873
Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…
Enhancing the sensitivity of the LIGO gravitational wave detector by using squeezed states of light
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
Nearly a century after Einstein first predicted the existence of gravitational waves, a global network of earth-based gravitational wave observatories is seeking to directly detect…
A directed search for continuous Gravitational Waves from the Galactic Center
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +871
We present the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown, isolated neutron stars in the Galactic Center region, performed on two years of data fr…
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…
Counting unlabeled k-trees
Andrew Gainer-Dewar, Ira M. Gessel
We count unlabeled k-trees by properly coloring them in k+1 colors and then counting orbits of these colorings under the action of the symmetric group on the colors.
The Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev representation of the Kauffman skein algebra
Francis Bonahon, Helen Wong
For A a primitive 2N-root of unity with N odd, the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev topological quantum field theory provides a representation of the Kauffman skein algebra of a closed su…
Macroscopic Objects, Intrinsic Spin, and Lorentz Violation
David W. Atkinson, McCoy Becker, Jay D. Tasson
The framework of the Standard-Model Extension (SME) provides a relativistic quantum field theory for the study of Lorentz violation. The classical, nonrelativistic equations of mot…
Mechanical fluidity of fully suspended biological cells
John M. Maloney, Eric Lehnhardt, Alexandra F. Long +1
Mechanical characteristics of single biological cells are used to identify and possibly leverage interesting differences among cells or cell populations. Fluidity---hysteresivity n…
Observer and Particle Transformations and Newton's Laws
T. H. Bertschinger, Natasha A. Flowers, Jay D. Tasson
A frequently confused point in studies of symmetry violation is the distinction between observer and particle transformations. In this work, we consider a model in which a coeffici…
Status of Matter-Gravity Couplings in the SME
Jay D. Tasson
Constraints on Lorentz violation in matter-gravity couplings are summarized along with existing proposals to obtain sensitivities that exceed current limits by up to 11 orders of m…
