Strategic Scientific Plan for Gemini Observatory

J. P. Blakeslee, A. Adamson, C. Davis +30

We present the Strategic Scientific Plan (SSP) for the direction and activities of the Gemini Observatory in the 2020s. The overarching goal is to ensure that Gemini best uses the…

Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 in the second Advanced LIGO observing run with an improved hidden Markov model

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1134

We present results from a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to track spin wander…

Search for intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1196

Gravitational wave astronomy has been firmly established with the detection of gravitational waves from the merger of ten stellar mass binary black holes and a neutron star binary.…
