A study of the detection efficiency of the LIGO interferometers to transient sources
… of the gravitational waves emitted by different sources, these efficiencies in turn allows us to have an estimate of the rate at which detection can be expected for each type of astrophysical object. This work does not reflect the scientific opinion of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and it was …

Upper limits for galactic transient sources of gravitational radiation from LIGO first observations
… and tested. This system detects localized transients in the gravitational wave data streams from two independent detectors using a time-frequency algorithm, applies veto conditions on these transients based on auxiliary channels, and looks for significant coincidences between the surviving …

All-Sky Search for Very-High-Energy Emission from Primordial Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Bursts with the HAWC Observatory
Transient sources of very-high-energy gamma rays are short-lived astrophysical phenomena often associated with catastrophic events that change their brightness over relatively short timescales. The search for and study of such objects, especially in the TeV energy regime, has the possibility to …

Investigating Exoplanets and Transients Using Small-Aperture Telescopes
… in Mallorca for exoplanet studies and studies of transient sources. Additionally, a method for exploring the Roche lobe of an exoplanet and the effects this has on the shape and density of the planet is also described. PIRATE is a small aperture photometric facility that can be operated remotely …

Unveiling the X-ray Source Population of the Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 2336
… spanning a 7-month period. A total of 32 X-ray sources were detected down to a limiting luminosity of ∼ 1.4 × 1038 erg s−1 in the 0.5–7.0 keV (broad) energy band. Five sources exhibit luminosities exceeding 1039 erg s−1 in the broad band in co-added dataset and are classified as ultra-luminous …

Probing Galactic Magnetism near the Galactic Center with THOR-GC
… region. As well, analysis of a highly polarized transient source identified in THOR-GC reveals that its variability is much larger than previously found and that the source may be a fast-moving neutron star in an extreme environment.
