Search for sub-solar mass ultracompact binaries in Advanced LIGO's second observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1187

We present an Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for sub-solar mass ultracompact objects in data obtained during Advanced LIGO's second observing run. In contrast to a previou…

Polarization Diagnostics for Cool Core Cluster Emission Lines

William B. Sparks, James E. Pringle, Robert F. Carswell +6

The nature of the interaction between low-excitation gas filaments at ~10^4 K, seen in optical line emission, and diffuse X-ray emitting coronal gas at ~10^7 K in the centers of ga…

An Upper Limit on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background of Cosmological Origin

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of a large number of unresolved gravitational-wave sources of astrophysical and cosmologica…
