Next Generation Observatories -- Report from the Dawn VI Workshop; October 5-7 2021
D. H. Shoemaker, Stefan Ballmer, Matteo Barsuglia +33
The workshop Dawn VI: Next Generation Observatories took place online over three days, 5-7 October, 2021. More than 200 physicists and astronomers attended to contribute to, and le…
Electromagnetic Counterparts to Massive Black Hole Mergers
Tamara Bogdanovic, M. Coleman Miller, Laura Blecha
The next two decades are expected to open the door to the first coincident detections of electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational wave (GW) signatures associated with massive black h…
The Radius of PSR J0740+6620 from NICER and XMM-Newton Data
M. C. Miller, F. K. Lamb, A. J. Dittmann +25
PSR J07406620 has a gravitational mass of , which is the highest reliably determined mass of any neutron star. As a result, a measurement of its radius wil…
NICER Detection of Thermal X-ray Pulsations from the Massive Millisecond Pulsars PSR J0740+6620 and PSR J1614-2230
M. T. Wolff, S. Guillot, S. Bogdanov +11
We report the detection of X-ray pulsations from the rotation-powered millisecond-period pulsars PSR J0740+6620 and PSR J1614-2230, two of the most massive neutron stars known, usi…
Observing intermediate-mass black holes and the upper--stellar-mass gap with LIGO and Virgo
Ajit Kumar Mehta, Alessandra Buonanno, Jonathan Gair +5
Using ground-based gravitational-wave detectors, we probe the mass function of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) wherein we also include BHs in the upper mass gap $\sim 60-130~…
Constraining the Neutron Star Mass--Radius Relation and Dense Matter Equation of State with NICER. III. Model Description and Verification of Parameter Estimation Codes
Slavko Bogdanov, Alexander J. Dittmann, Wynn C. G. Ho +16
We describe the X-ray pulse profile models we use, and how we use them, to analyze Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations of rotation-powered millisecond p…
