Direct Observation of Cosmic Strings via their Strong Gravitational Lensing Effect: II. Results from the HST/ACS Image Archive

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors search 4.5 square degrees of archival HST/ACS images for cosmic strings, identifying close pairs of similar, faint galaxies and selecting groups whose alignment is consistent with gravitational lensing by a long, straight string.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma Rays from Fast Black-hole Winds

Book ChapterDOI

Gravitational Optics Studies of Dark Matter Halos

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the large-scale mass to light ratio in red bandpasses is ∼ 100 solar units, and is apparently independent of galaxy type, and the prospects for improving the precision of these measurements and for extending them to larger length scales over the next five years are good.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi Observations of the LIGO Event GW170104

Adam Goldstein, +174 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations of the LIGO binary black hole merger (BBH) event GW170104 were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hitomi observations of the LMC SNR N 132 D: Highly redshifted X-ray emission from iron ejecta

Felix Aharonian, +207 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Hitomi observations of N 132 D, a young, X-ray bright, O-rich core-collapse supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), were used to detect the line complexes of highly ionized S K and Fe K with 16-17 counts in each.
