Multiband variability studies and novel broadband SED modeling of Mrk 501 in 2009

M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +290

We present an extensive study of the BL Lac object Mrk 501 based on a data set collected during the multi-instrument campaign spanning from 2009 March 15 to 2009 August 1 which inc…

Fading AGN Candidates: AGN Histories and Outflow Signatures

William C. Keel, Chris J. Lintott, W. Peter Maksym +12

We consider energy budgets and radiative history of 8 fading AGN, identified from mismatch between the ionizion of very extended (>10 kpc) ionized clouds and the luminosity of the…

PTF1 J082340.04+081936.5: A hot subdwarf B star with a low mass white dwarf companion in an 87 minute orbit

Thomas Kupfer, Jan van Roestel, Jared Brooks +19

We present the discovery of the hot subdwarf B star (sdB) binary PTF1 J082340.04+081936.5. The system has an orbital period P min (0.060761584(10) days), ma…

A search for spectral hysteresis and energy-dependent time lags from X-ray and TeV gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421

A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +220

Blazars are variable emitters across all wavelengths over a wide range of timescales, from months down to minutes. It is therefore essential to observe blazars simultaneously at di…

MHz Gravitational Wave Constraints with Decameter Michelson Interferometers

Aaron S. Chou, Richard Gustafson, Craig Hogan +10

A new detector, the Fermilab Holometer, consists of separate yet identical 39-meter Michelson interferometers. Strain sensitivity achieved is better than $10^{-21} /{\sqrt{\rm{Hz}}…

Gravity Spy: Integrating Advanced LIGO Detector Characterization, Machine Learning, and Citizen Science

Michael Zevin, Scott Coughlin, Sara Bahaadini +15

(abridged for arXiv) With the first direct detection of gravitational waves, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) has initiated a new field of as…
