AbstractAbstract
[en] Cosmogenic isotopes, including 14C, 10Be, and 7Be, are produced in the Earth’s atmosphere under the effect of cosmic rays. The rate of their production is determined by several factors, such as the intensity of primary galactic cosmic rays, the level of solar activity, and the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field. Changes in the isotope concentrations and distributions receive contributions from mixing processes proceeding in the surrounding medium: the atmosphere, biosphere, and oceans. The isotopes 14C and 10Be are the most important for studying solar activity and climate. Investigation of isotope concentrations reveal that there are both long-term trends and cyclic components. As for 14C, the long-term component caused by the change in the magnetic dipole moment of the Earth with a characteristic time of about 104 years is the most commonly known. It is well known that the concentrations of cosmogenic isotopes change cyclically with time. The ~2400-year cycle (Hallstatt cycle) and the ~210-year cycle (de Vries cycle) are the most famous. In the present article, we discuss the possible origin of the ~2400-year cycle.

AbstractAbstract
[en] We introduce a 'loosely coherent' method for detection of continuous gravitational waves that bridges the gap between semi-coherent and purely coherent methods. Explicit control over accepted families of signals is used to increase the sensitivity of a power-based statistic while avoiding the high computational costs of conventional matched filters. Several examples as well as a prototype implementation are discussed.

AbstractAbstract
[en] In the present work we consider the abundance of radiocarbon (Δ14C) in the Earth’s atmosphere in 12000-8500 BC years. Some periods of sharp cold and warming are fixed in this time interval. The so-called Younger Dryas (≈ 10700–9700 BC) is one of the most well known examples of dramatic change of terrestrial climate. The Younger Dryas (≈ 10700–9700 BC) lasted for ca one thousand years and a transition from the Last Glaciation to the interglacial Holocene has happened about 12 thousand years ago. During the Younger Dryas the amount of Δ14C increased within ≈ 10800 –10560 BC by 3% and it decreased by 6 % over a period 10560-9680BC. The reconstructions of the radiocarbon production rate and the heliospheric modulation potential based on 14C and 18O data sets are presents. The periods of extreme levels of these parameters are determined. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] We have analyzed the paleomagnetic data on lake sediments. For known values of declination, inclination and the site position in the framework of a model of the geomagnetic dipole the pole position (GMP) was evaluated as a function of time for the past 10,000 years The values obtained for the position of the geomagnetic poles were presented in the form of an expansion in the empirical modes (EMD). It is shown that the latitude and longitude do not change stochastically with time, but have regular cyclical components. Velocity of drift of the GMP has been estimated. The correlation analysis of accumulation rate of Greenland ice and of the position of GMP are carried out and it is shown that there is a significant correlation between these data. The data on changes in the latitude of GMP that taken place 8.2 thousand years ago are discussed.

AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper presents the results of reconstruction of the heliospheric modulation potential based on the content of 14C cosmogenic isotope in natural archives from the beginning of 11-th to mid 19th century. This time period includes a number of grand minima of solar activity such as Oort, Wolf, Spoerer, Maunder, Dalton and climatic Little Ice Age. Medieval maximum of solar activity has happened during this time interval as well during this period there were variations both in the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and in the global temperatures, which were taken into account in the reconstruction of the 14C production rate in the terrestrial atmosphere. As a result, values of the modulation potential were reconstructed using different temperature proxies. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] We conduct an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in the LIGO O2 data from the Hanford and Livingston detectors. We search for nearly monochromatic signals with frequency 20.0 Hz ≤ f ≤ 585.15 Hz and spin-down Hz s−1. We deploy the search on the Einstein@Home volunteer-computing project and follow-up the waveforms associated with the most significant results with eight further search stages, reaching the best sensitivity ever achieved by an all-sky survey up to 500 Hz. Six of the inspected waveforms pass all the stages but they are all associated with hardware injections, which are fake signals simulated at the LIGO detector for validation purposes. We recover all these fake signals with consistent parameters. No other waveform survives, so we find no evidence of a continuous gravitational wave signal at the detectability level of our search. We constrain the h 0 amplitude of continuous gravitational waves at the detector as a function of the signal frequency, in half-Hz bins. The most constraining upper limit at 163.0 Hz is h 0 = 1.3 × 10−25, at the 90% confidence level. Our results exclude neutron stars rotating faster than 5 ms with equatorial ellipticities larger than 10−7 closer than 100 pc. These are deformations that neutron star crusts could easily support, according to some models.

AbstractAbstract
[en] We perform a sub-threshold follow-up search for continuous nearly monochromatic gravitational waves from the central compact objects associated with the supernova remnants (SNRs) Vela Jr., Cassiopeia A, and SNR G347.3−0.5. Across the three targets, we investigate the most promising ≈10,000 combinations of gravitational-wave frequency and frequency derivative values, based on the results from an Einstein@Home search of the LIGO O1 observing run data, dedicated to these objects. The selection threshold is set so that a signal could be confirmed using the newly released O2 run LIGO data. In order to achieve best sensitivity we perform two separate follow-up searches, on two distinct stretches of the O2 data. Only one candidate survives the first O2 follow-up investigation, associated with the central compact object in SNR G347.3−0.5, but it is not conclusively confirmed. In order to assess a possible astrophysical origin we use archival X-ray observations and search for amplitude modulations of a pulsed signal at the putative rotation frequency of the neutron star and its harmonics. This is the first extensive electromagnetic follow-up of a continuous gravitational-wave candidate performed to date. No significant associated signal is identified. New X-ray observations contemporaneous with the LIGO O3 run will enable a more sensitive search for an electromagnetic counterpart. A focused gravitational-wave search in O3 data based on the parameters provided here should be easily able to shed light on the nature of this outlier. Noise investigations on the LIGO instruments could also reveal the presence of a coherent contamination.

AbstractAbstract
[en] A seismic array has been deployed at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in the former Homestake mine, South Dakota, USA, to study the underground seismic environment. This includes exploring the advantages of constructing a third-generation gravitational-wave (GW) detector underground. A major noise source for these detectors would be Newtonian noise (NN), which is induced by fluctuations in the local gravitational field. The hope is that a combination of a low-noise seismic environment and coherent noise subtraction using seismometers in the vicinity of the detector could suppress the NN to below the projected noise floor for future GW detectors. In this paper, certain properties of the NN subtraction problem are studied by applying similar techniques to data of a seismic array. We use Wiener filtering techniques to subtract coherent noise in a seismic array in the frequency band 0.05–1 Hz. This achieves more than an order of magnitude noise cancellation over a majority of this band. The variation in the Wiener-filter coefficients over the course of the day, including how local activities impact the filter, is analyzed. We also study the variation in coefficients over the course of a month, showing the stability of the filter with time. How varying the filter order affects the subtraction performance is also explored. It is shown that optimizing filter order can significantly improve subtraction of seismic noise. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The second generation of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors are being built and tuned all over the world. The detection of signals from binary black holes is beginning to fulfil the promise of GW astronomy. In this work, we examine several possible configurations for third-generation laser interferometers in existing km-scale facilities. We propose a set of astrophysically motivated metrics to evaluate detector performance. We measure the impact of detector design choices against these metrics, providing a quantitative cost-benefit analyses of the resulting scientific payoffs. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] We describe a search underway for periodic gravitational waves from the central compact object in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The object is the youngest likely neutron star in the Galaxy. Its position is well known, but the object does not pulse in any electromagnetic radiation band and thus presents a challenge in searching the parameter space of frequency and frequency derivatives. We estimate that a fully coherent search can, with a reasonable amount of time on a computing cluster, achieve a sensitivity at which it is theoretically possible (though not likely) to observe a signal even with the initial LIGO noise spectrum. Cassiopeia A is only the second object after the Crab pulsar for which this is true. The search method described here can also obtain interesting results for similar objects with current LIGO sensitivity
