Lorentz-symmetry test at Planck-scale suppression with nucleons in a spin-polarized Cs cold atom clock
H. Pihan-Le Bars, C. Guerlin, R. -D. Lasseri +5
We introduce an improved model that links the frequency shift of the hyperfine Zeeman transitions to th…
Traveling wave solutions to Kawahara and related equations
Stefan C. Mancas
Traveling wave solutions to Kawahara equation (KE), transmission line (TL), and Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation are found by using an elliptic function method which is more genera…
Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +992
A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW1512…
Tests of Lorentz symmetry in the gravitational sector
Aurélien Hees, Quentin G. Bailey, Adrien Bourgoin +3
Lorentz symmetry is one of the pillars of both General Relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics. Motivated by ideas about quantum gravity, unification theories and vio…
A Deep Proper Motion Catalog Within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Footprint. II. The White Dwarf Luminosity Function
Jeffrey A. Munn, Hugh C. Harris, Ted von Hippel +8
A catalog of 8472 white dwarf (WD) candidates is presented, selected using reduced proper motions from the deep proper motion catalog of Munn et al. 2014. Candidates are selected i…
All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first Advanced LIGO run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +986
We present the results from an all-sky search for short-duration gravitational waves in the data of the first run of the Advanced LIGO detectors between September 2015 and January…
A Bayesian Analysis of the Ages of Four Open Clusters
Elizabeth J. Jeffery, Ted von Hippel, David A. van Dyk +4
In this paper we apply a Bayesian technique to determine the best fit of stellar evolution models to find the main sequence turn off age and other cluster parameters of four interm…
Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts During the First Advanced LIGO Observing Run and Implications for the Origin of GRB 150906B
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, IPN Collaboration +1002
We present the results of the search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with -ray bursts detected during the first observing run of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravi…
Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +999
Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models diffe…
Particle production in a gravitational wave background
Preston Jones, Patrick McDougall, Douglas Singleton
We study the possibility that massless particles, such as photons, are produced by a gravitational wave. That such a process should occur is implied by tree-level, Feynman diagrams…
On the sections of universal hyperelliptic curves
Tatsunari Watanabe
In this paper, we will give an algebraic proof for determining the sections for the universal pointed hyperelliptic curves, when and the image of the -adic cyclotom…
A comprehensive search for stellar bowshock nebulae in the Milky Way: a catalog of 709 mid-infrared selected candidates
Henry A. Kobulnicky, William T. Chick, Danielle P. Schurhammer +8
We identify 709 arc-shaped mid-infrared nebula in 24 micron Spitzer Space Telescope or 22 micron Wide Field Infrared Explorer surveys of the Galactic Plane as probable dusty inters…
Bayesian Analysis of Two Stellar Populations in Galactic Globular Clusters III: Analysis of 30 Clusters
R. Wagner-Kaiser, D. C. Stenning, A. Sarajedini +5
We use Cycle 21 Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations and HST archival ACS Treasury observations of 30 Galactic Globular Clusters to characterize two distinct stellar populatio…
New Halo White Dwarf Candidates in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Kyra Dame, A. Gianninas, Mukremin Kilic +5
We present optical spectroscopy and near-infrared photometry of 57 faint () high proper motion white dwarfs identified through repeat imaging of square degr…
The Remote Observatories of the Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA)
William C. Keel, Terry Oswalt, Peter Mack +11
We describe the remote facilities operated by the Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA), a consortium of colleges and universities in the US partnered with Lowe…
The white dwarf luminosity function
Enrique García-Berro, Terry D. Oswalt
White dwarfs are the final remnants of low- and intermediate-mass stars. Their evolution is essentially a cooling process that lasts for Gyr. Their observed properties pr…
The basic physics of the binary black hole merger GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +953
The first direct gravitational-wave detection was made by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory on September 14, 2015. The GW150914 signal was strong eno…
Anisotropic cubic curvature couplings
Quentin G. Bailey
To complement recent work on tests of spacetime symmetry in gravity, cubic curvature couplings are studied using an effective field theory description of spacetime-symmetry breakin…
