Binary Millisecond Pulsar Discovery via Gamma-Ray Pulsations

H. J. Pletsch, L. Guillemot, H. Fehrmann +150

Millisecond pulsars, old neutron stars spun-up by accreting matter from a companion star, can reach high rotation rates of hundreds of revolutions per second. Until now, all such "…

Towards Rapid Parameter Estimation on Gravitational Waves from Compact Binaries using Interpolated Waveforms

R. J. E. Smith, K. Cannon, C. Hanna +2

Accurate parameter estimation of gravitational waves from coalescing compact binary sources is a key requirement for gravitational-wave astronomy. Evaluating the posterior probabil…

PSR J1311-3430: A Heavyweight Neutron Star with a Flyweight Helium Companion

Roger W. Romani, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jeffery M. Silverman +5

We have obtained initial spectroscopic observations and additional photometry of the newly discovered Pb=94min gamma-ray black-widow pulsar PSR J1311-3430. The Keck spectra show a…

Radio Detection of the Fermi LAT Blind Search Millisecond Pulsar J1311-3430

P. S. Ray, S. M. Ransom, C. C. Cheung +15

We report the detection of radio emission from PSR J1311-3430, the first millisecond pulsar discovered in a blind search of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) gamma-ray data. We dete…

PSR J1838-0537: Discovery of a young, energetic gamma-ray pulsar

H. J. Pletsch, L. Guillemot, B. Allen +12

We report the discovery of PSR J1838-0537, a gamma-ray pulsar found through a blind search of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). The pulsar has a spin frequency of 6.9…

A First Search for coincident Gravitational Waves and High Energy Neutrinos using LIGO, Virgo and ANTARES data from 2007

The ANTARES Collaboration, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +959

We present the results of the first search for gravitational wave bursts associated with high energy neutrinos. Together, these messengers could reveal new, hidden sources that are…
