Aportaciones al estudio del Mioceno marino de la comarca del Vallés

Con motivo de una intensa explotación a que se ven sometidas las arcillas que integran el Mioceno del Vallés, se han abierto a lo largo de la carretera de Sant Cugat a Sardanyola una serie de canteras ("terrals").Uno de ellos el de Can Xercavins, a medida que avanzaban los trabajos de extracción de arcilla, iba mostrando un magnífico corte que nosotros hemos aprovechado para estudiarlo ; en él aflora ampliamente el Mioceno marino del Vallés. En este corte hemos encontrado una abundante y bien conservada fauna lo que ha permitido su datación. Estos sedimentos marinos se hallan dispuestos en varios niveles que indentan en el Mioceno continental; ello es pues de un gran interés cronoestratigráfico por ser esta datación un nuevo jalón sobre el cual puede apoyarse la estratigrafía del Mioceno del Vallés

Una nueva aportación al conocimiento del Mioceno marino del Vallés

Se estudian una serie de fósiles procedentes de un pozo situado en Sardanyola y tras un breve comentario sobre el conjunto de la fauna se sugiere la posibilidad de una transgresión marina durante el Mioceno medio siguiendo lo que después será el valle del Besós.An association of molluscan Fossils coming from a water well at Sardanyola are studied here. After considering the totality of the fauna, a possibility of a marine transgression of the Middle Miocene age in the Besos Valley is suggested

GWTC-2.1: Deep Extended Catalog of Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run

The second gravitational-wave transient catalog, GWTC-2, reported on 39 compact binary coalescences observed by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors between 1 April 2019 15:00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15:00 UTC. Here, we present GWTC-2.1, which reports on a deeper list of candidate events observed over the same period. We analyze the final version of the strain data over this period, which is now publicly released. We employ three matched-filter search pipelines for candidate identification, and estimate the probability of astrophysical origin for each candidate event. While GWTC-2 used a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per year, we include in GWTC-2.1, 1201 candidates that pass a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per day. We calculate the source properties of a subset of 44 high-significance candidates that have a probability of astrophysical origin greater than 0.5, using the default priors. Of these candidates, 36 have been reported in GWTC-2. If the 8 additional high-significance candidates presented here are astrophysical, the mass range of candidate events that are unambiguously identified as binary black holes (both objects $\geq 3M_\odot$) is increased compared to GWTC-2, with total masses from $\sim 14M_\odot$ for GW190924_021846 to $\sim 184M_\odot$ for GW190426_190642. The primary components of two new candidate events (GW190403_051519 and GW190426_190642) fall in the mass gap predicted by pair-instability supernova theory. We also expand the population of binaries with significantly asymmetric mass ratios reported in GWTC-2 by an additional two events ($q \lt 0.61$ and $q \lt 0.62$ at $90\%$ credibility for GW190403_051519 and GW190917_114630 respectively), and find that 2 of the 8 new events have effective inspiral spins $\chi_\mathrm{eff} > 0$ (at $90\%$ credibility), while no binary is consistent with $\chi_\mathrm{eff} \lt 0$ at the same significance

GWTC-2.1: Deep extended catalog of compact binary coalescences observed by LIGO and Virgo during the first half of the third observing run

The second Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-2, reported on 39 compact binary coalescences observed by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors between 1 April 2019 15:00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15:00 UTC. Here, we present GWTC-2.1, which reports on a deeper list of candidate events observed over the same period. We analyze the final version of the strain data over this period with improved calibration and better subtraction of excess noise, which has been publicly released. We employ three matched-filter search pipelines for candidate identification, and estimate the probability of astrophysical origin for each candidate event. While GWTC-2 used a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per year, we include in GWTC-2.1, 1201 candidates that pass a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per day. We calculate the source properties of a subset of 44 high-significance candidates that have a probability of astrophysical origin greater than 0.5. Of these candidates, 36 have been reported in GWTC-2. We also calculate updated source properties for all binary block hole events previously reported in GWTC-1. If the 8 additional high-significance candidates presented here are astrophysical, the mass range of events that are unambiguously identified as binary black holes (both objects \geq 3M_\odot) is increased compared to GWTC-2, with total masses from \sim 14M_\odot for GW190924_021846 to \sim 182M_\odot for GW190426_190642. Source properties calculated using our default prior suggest that the primary components of two new candidate events (GW190403_051519 and GW190426_190642) fall in the mass gap predicted by pair-instability supernova theory. We also expand the population of binaries with significantly asymmetric mass ratios reported in GWTC-2 by an additional two events (the mass ratio is less than 0.65 and 0.44 at 90% probability for GW190403_051519 and GW190917_114630 respectively), and find that 2 of the 8 new events have effective inspiral spins \chi_\mathrm{eff} > 0 (at 90\% credibility), while no binary is consistent with \chi_\mathrm{eff} \lt 0 at the same significance. We provide updated estimates for rates of binary black hole and binary neutron star coalescence in the local Universe
