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…
Green Bank Telescope and Swift X-ray Telescope Observations of the Galactic Center Radio Magnetar SGR J1745-2900
Ryan S. Lynch, Robert F. Archibald, Victoria M. Kaspi +1
We present results from eight months of Green Bank Telescope 8.7-GHz observations and nearly 18 months Swift X-ray telescope observations of the radio magnetar SGR J1745-2900, whic…
Towards an understanding of the force-free magnetosphere of rapidly spinning black holes
Fan Zhang, Huan Yang, Luis Lehner
The ability of a plasma surrounding spinning black holes to extract rotational energy and power energetic emissions has been recognized as a key astrophysical phenomenon. Important…
A 24-Hour Global Campaign To Assess Precision Timing of the Millisecond Pulsar J1713+0747
T. Dolch, M. T. Lam, J. M. Cordes +40
The radio millisecond pulsar J1713+0747 is regarded as one of the highest-precision clocks in the sky, and is regularly timed for the purpose of detecting gravitational waves. The…
Why the distance of PSR J0218+4232 does not challenge pulsar emission theories
J. P. W. Verbiest, D. R. Lorimer
Recent VLBI measurements of the astrometric parameters of the millisecond pulsar J0218+4232 by Du et al. have suggested this pulsar is as distant as 6.3 kpc. At such a large distan…
The Green Bank Northern Celestial Cap Pulsar Survey - I: Survey Description, Data Analysis, and Initial Results
K. Stovall, R. S. Lynch, S. M. Ransom +29
We describe an ongoing search for pulsars and dispersed pulses of radio emission, such as those from rotating radio transients (RRATs) and fast radio bursts (FRBs), at 350 MHz usin…
