A Proposed Search for the Detection of Gravitational Waves from Eccentric Binary Black Holes

Vaibhav Tiwari, Sergey Klimenko, Nelson Christensen +14

Most of compact binary systems are expected to circularize before the frequency of emitted gravitational waves (GWs) enters the sensitivity band of the ground based interferometric…

All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients with LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +934

We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in two sets of data collected by the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston detectors between November…

A search of the Orion spur for continuous gravitational waves using a "loosely coherent" algorithm on data from LIGO interferometers

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +920

We report results of a wideband search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars within the Orion spur towards both the inner and outer regions of our Galaxy. As…

Matter-Sector Lorentz Violation in Binary Pulsars

Ross J. Jennings, Jay D. Tasson, Shun Yang

Violations of local Lorentz invariance in the gravitationally coupled matter sector have yet to be sought in strong-gravity systems. We present the implications of matter-sector Lo…

First low frequency all-sky search for continuous gravitational wave signals

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +921

In this paper we present the results of the first low frequency all-sky search of continuous gravitational wave signals conducted on Virgo VSR2 and VSR4 data. The search covered th…

Snow Leopard Permutations and Their Even and Odd Threads

Eric S. Egge, Kailee Rubin

Caffrey, Egge, Michel, Rubin and Ver Steegh recently introduced snow leopard permutations, which are the anti-Baxter permutations that are compatible with the doubly alternating Ba…

Observation of Two New L4 Neptune Trojans in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Fields

D. W. Gerdes, R. J. Jennings, G. M. Bernstein +62

We report the discovery of the eighth and ninth known Trojans in stable orbits around Neptune's leading Lagrange point, L4. The objects 2014 QO and 2014 QP were det…

Bayesian semiparametric power spectral density estimation with applications in gravitational wave data analysis

Matthew C. Edwards, Renate Meyer, Nelson Christensen

The standard noise model in gravitational wave (GW) data analysis assumes detector noise is stationary and Gaussian distributed, with a known power spectral density (PSD) that is u…

All-sky, narrowband, gravitational-wave radiometry with folded data

Eric Thrane, Sanjit Mitra, Nelson Christensen +2

Gravitational-wave radiometry is a powerful tool by which weak signals with unknown signal morphologies are recovered through a process of cross correlation. Radiometry has been us…

Presentations of Roger and Yang's Kauffman bracket arc algebra

Martin Bobb, Stephen Kennedy, Dylan Peifer +1

We provide a presentation of the Roger and Yang's Kauffman bracket arc algebra for the once-punctured torus and punctured spheres with three or fewer punctures.

Chasing 5-sigma: Prospects for searches for long-duration gravitational-waves without time slides

Michael Coughlin, Patrick Meyers, Shivaraj Kandhasamy +2

The detection of unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts by ground-based interferometric gravitational-wave detectors is a major goal for the advanced detector era. These searches are…

Enhanced hVV couplings in the Georgi-Machacek model and beyond

Heather E. Logan

In this talk I discuss extended Higgs sectors in which the 125 GeV Higgs boson couplings to W and Z bosons can be larger than in the Standard Model. Constraints from perturbative u…

Two radio-emission mechanisms in PSR J0901-4624

C. A. Raithel, R. M. Shannon, S. Johnston +1

We have detected sporadic, bright, short-duration radio pulses from PSR J09014624. These pulses are emitted simultaneously with persistent, periodic emission that dominates the…

Gravity Effects on Antimatter in the Standard-Model Extension

Jay D. Tasson

The gravitational Standard-Model Extension (SME) is the general field-theory based framework for the analysis of CPT and Lorentz violation. In this work we summarize the implicatio…

Antimatter-Gravity Couplings, and Lorentz Symmetry

Jay D. Tasson

Implications of possible CPT and Lorentz violation for antimatter-gravity experiments as well as other antimatter tests are considered in the context of the general field-theory-ba…

Detecting very long-lived gravitational-wave transients lasting hours to weeks

Eric Thrane, Vuk Mandic, Nelson Christensen

We explore the possibility of very long-lived gravitational-wave transients (and detector artifacts) lasting hours to weeks. Such very long signals are both interesting in their ow…
