GW170817: Implications for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Compact Binary Coalescences

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099

The LIGO Scientific and Virgo Collaborations have announced the first detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of two neutron stars. The merger rate of binary neutron…

First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050

We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…

Origin of low surface brightness galaxies: A dynamical study

Prerak Garg, Arunima Banerjee

Low Surface Brighness Galaxies (LSBs), inspite of being gas rich, have low star formation rates and are, therefore, low surface brightness in nature. We calculate Q, th…

Tensor Minkowski Functionals for random fields on the sphere

Pravabati Chingangbam, K P Yogendran, Joby P. K. +3

We generalize the translation invariant tensor-valued Minkowski Functionals which are defined on two-dimensional flat space to the unit sphere. We apply them to level sets of rando…

GW170104: Observation of a 50-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence at Redshift 0.2

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1048

We describe the observation of GW170104, a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of a pair of stellar-mass black holes. The signal was measured on January 4, 2017 a…

Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 in the first Advanced LIGO observing run with a hidden Markov model

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1043

Results are presented from a semi-coherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1, using data collected during the first A…

On Minkowski Functionals of CMB polarization

Pravabati Chingangbam, Vidhya Ganesan, K. P. Yogendran +1

CMB polarization data is usually analyzed using and modes because they are scalars quantities under rotations along the lines of sight and have distinct physical origins. W…

Role of curvature and domain shape on Turing patterns

Sankaran Nampoothiri, Amal Medhi

We consider pattern formation using reaction-diffusion equation on various non-uniformly curved surfaces. We explore how, in general, curvature and, in particular the domain shape…

Higher curvature self-interaction corrections to Hawking Radiation

C. Fairoos, Sudipta Sarkar, K. P. Yogendran

The purely thermal nature of Hawking radiation from evaporating black holes leads to the information loss paradox. A possible route to its resolution could be if (enough) correlati…

Search for High-energy Neutrinos from Gravitational Wave Event GW151226 and Candidate LVT151012 with ANTARES and IceCube

A. Albert, M. Andre, M. Anghinolfi +1410

The Advanced LIGO observatories detected gravitational waves from two binary black hole mergers during their first observation run (O1). We present a high-energy neutrino follow-up…
