Ground motion prediction at gravitational wave observatories using archival seismic data

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Mittleman | Summary:Gravitational wave observatories have always been affected by tele-seismic earthquakes leading to a decrease in duty cycle and coincident observation time. In this analysis, we leverage the power of machine learning algorithms and archival seismic data to predict the ground motion and the state of the gravitational wave interferometer during […]

Unveiling the Rich and Diverse Universe of Subsecond Astrophysics through LSST Star Trails

Kavli Affiliate: Steven Kahn | Summary:We present a unique method that allows the LSST to scan the sky for stellar variability on short timescales. The operational component of the strategy requires LSST to take star trail images. The image processing component uses deep learning to sift for transient events on timescales down to 10 ms. […]

A new bright z=6.82 quasar discovered with VISTA: VHS J0411-0907

Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | Summary:We present the discovery of a new $z sim 6.8$ quasar discovered with the near-IR VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS) which has been spectroscopically confirmed by the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) and the Magellan telescope. This quasar has been selected by spectral energy distribution (SED) classification using near infrared […]
