Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO's first observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +993

We employ gravitational-wave radiometry to map the gravitational waves stochastic background expected from a variety of contributing mechanisms and test the assumption of isotropy…

Discovery of the Onset of Rapid Accretion by a Dormant Massive Black Hole

D. N. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, G. Ghisellini +53

Massive black holes are believed to reside at the centres of most galaxies. They can be- come detectable by accretion of matter, either continuously from a large gas reservoir or i…

The Second Swift BAT Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

T. Sakamoto, S. D. Barthelmy, W. H. Baumgartner +12

We present the second Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which contains 476 bursts detected by the BAT between 2004 December 19 and 2009 December…

Two years of monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift

P. Romano, V. La Parola, S. Vercellone +10

We present two years of intense Swift monitoring of three SFXTs, IGR J16479-4514, XTE J1739-302, and IGR J17544-2619 (since October 2007). Out-of-outburst intensity-based X-ray (0.…

GRB 081008: from burst to afterglow and the transition phase in between

F. Yuan, P. Schady, J. L. Racusin +30

We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 081008, at redshift 1.967, by Swift, ROTSE-III and GROND. Compared to other Swift GRBs, GRB 081008 has a typical gamma-ray isotropic equi…
