Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binaries from the Lack of Resolvable Sources in the NANOGrav 15-yr Dataset
Emiko C. Gardiner, Kayhan Gültekin, Philippe Turgeon +116
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have found evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) consistent with a population of supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), but have not yet…
A targeted search for fast radio bursts from magnetars in elliptical galaxies
S. Paine, D. R. Lorimer, S. Sirota +12
Motivated by predictions that globular clusters associated with nearby giant elliptical galaxies are prime environments for detecting fast radio bursts (FRBs) from magnetars, we re…
Pulsar Timing Array Sensitivity to Anisotropy: Empirical Sensitivity Curves, Scaling Relations, and the Multi-Resolution Pixel Basis
Taha T. Moursy, Nihan S. Pol, Gabriella Agazie +115
We quantify pulsar timing array (PTA) sensitivity to anisotropy in the gravitational wave background using the cross-correlation based Fisher information matrix in the pixel and sp…
Timing and statistical analysis of single-pulse search pulsar discoveries from the PALFA survey
Graham M. Doskoch, Maura A. McLaughlin, B. Allen +23
Almost two decades after their discovery, pulsars discoverable only through their single, dispersed radio pulses, known as rotating radio transients (RRATS), remain a poorly-unders…
The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Impacts of Customized Chromatic Noise Models on Gravitational Wave Analyses
Nikita Agarwal, Gabriella Agazie, Alessandra Amosso +120
We report updated nHz gravitational wave (GW) significance, characterization, and interpretations using the customized chromatic-noise models (CNMs) developed in Larsen, Baier et a…
Gravitational Wave Measurement of the - Intrinsic Scatter at High Redshift
Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gültekin, Gabriella Agazie +109
The observed GWB spectrum is higher in amplitude than model predictions by a factor of 2-3. Using a semi-analytic model, we evaluate the effect of a high-scatter supermassive black…
Twenty-four thousand hours of GREENBURST observations with the GBT
J. W. Kania, S. Paine, G. M. Doskoch +23
In addition to fast radio burst (FRB) searches carried out using dedicated surveys, a number of radio observatories take advantage of commensal opportunities with large facilities…
The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Targeted Searches for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Nikita Agarwal, Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi +116
We present the first targeted searches for continuous gravitational waves (CWs) from 114 active galactic nuclei (AGN) that may host supermassive black hole binaries, using the NANO…
A Statistical Analysis of Crab Pulsar Giant Pulse Rates
Graham M. Doskoch, Andrea Basuroski, Kriisa Halley +18
A small number of pulsars are known to emit giant pulses, single pulses much brighter than average. Among these is PSR J0534+2200, also known as the Crab pulsar, a young pulsar wit…
Improving Undergraduate Astronomy Students' Skills with Research Literature via Accessible Summaries: An Exploratory Case Study with Astrobites-based Reading Assignments
Briley L. Lewis, Abygail R. Waggoner, Emma Clarke +17
Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, but reading comprehension skills are rarely exp…
First Detections of Exop(lan)ets: Observations and Follow-Ups of the Floofiest Transits on Zoom
Sabina Sagynbayeva, Briley L. Lewis, Graham M. Doskoch +16
With the proliferation of online Zoom meetings as a means of doing science in the 2020s, astronomers have made new and unexpected Target of Opportunity (ToO) observations. Chief am…
Chandra grating spectroscopy of embedded wind shock X-ray emission from O stars shows low plasma temperatures and significant wind absorption
David H. Cohen, Winter Parts, Graham M. Doskoch +4
We present a uniform analysis of six examples of embedded wind shock (EWS) O star X-ray sources observed at high resolution with the Chandra grating spectrometers. By modeling both…
