    • Directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO data 

      Aasi, J.; Abbott, B. P.; Abbott, R.; Abbott, T.; Abernathy, M. R.; Acernese, F.; Domínguez, Alfredo Eduardo; Maglione, César Germán; Ortega Larcher, Walter Emanuel; Quiroga, Gonzalo Damián; Reula, Oscar Alejandro (2015)
      We present results of a search for continuously emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass x-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semicoherent analysis covers 10 days of LIGO S5 data ranging from 50–550 ...

    • A pair production telescope for medium-energy gamma-ray polarimetry 

      Hunter, Stanley D.; Bloser, Peter F.; Depaola, Gerardo Osvaldo; Dion, Michael P.; DeNolfo, Georgia A.; Hanu, Andrei; Iparraguirre, Lorenzo Marcos; Legere, Jason; Longo, Francesco; McConnell, Mark L.; Nowicki, Suzanne F.; Ryan, James M.; Son, Seunghee; Stecker, Floyd W. (2014)
      We describe the science motivation and development of a pair production telescope for medium-energy (∼5–200 MeV) gamma-ray polarimetry. Our instrument concept, the Advanced Energetic Pair Telescope (AdEPT), takes advantage ...
