Exploiting Orbital Constraints from Optical Data to Detect Binary Gamma-ray Pulsars

L. Nieder, B. Allen, C. J. Clark +1

It is difficult to discover pulsars via their gamma-ray emission because current instruments typically detect fewer than one photon per million rotations. This creates a significan…

The Rate of Binary Black Hole Mergers Inferred from Advanced LIGO Observations Surrounding GW150914

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +964

A transient gravitational-wave signal, GW150914, was identified in the twin Advanced LIGO detectors on September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC. To assess the implications of this discov…

PSR J1906+0722: An Elusive Gamma-ray Pulsar

C. J. Clark, H. J. Pletsch, J. Wu +117

We report the discovery of PSR J1906+0722, a gamma-ray pulsar detected as part of a blind survey of unidentified Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) sources being carried out on the v…

Timing and Interstellar Scattering of Thirty-five Distant Pulsars Discovered in the PALFA Survey

D. J. Nice, E. Altiere, S. Bogdanov +34

We have made extensive observations of 35 distant slow (non-recycled) pulsars discovered in the ongoing Arecibo PALFA pulsar survey. Timing observations of these pulsars over sever…

Four Highly Dispersed Millisecond Pulsars Discovered in the Arecibo PALFA Galactic Plane Survey

F. Crawford, K. Stovall, A. G. Lyne +29

We present the discovery and phase-coherent timing of four highly dispersed millisecond pulsars (MSPs) from the Arecibo PALFA Galactic plane survey: PSRs J1844+0115, J1850+0124, J1…

Sensitivity to Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescences Achieved during LIGO's Fifth and Virgo's First Science Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +707

We summarize the sensitivity achieved by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors for compact binary coalescence (CBC) searches during LIGO's fifth science run and Virgo's f…

Making h(t) for LIGO

Xavier Siemens, Bruce Allen, Jolien Creighton +2

The conversion of the read-out from the anti-symmetric port of the LIGO interferometers into gravitational strain has thus far been performed in the frequency domain. Here we descr…
