The US Program in Ground-Based Gravitational Wave Science: Contribution from the LIGO Laboratory

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Weiss | Summary:Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 2015,10 binary black hole coalescences and one binary neutron star coalescence have been observed. They have provided remarkable, revolutionary insight into the "gravitational Universe" and […]

Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Burchat | Summary:Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental efforts, while simultaneously probing unique regions of dark matter parameter space. This white paper summarizes astrophysical observations that can constrain the fundamental physics of dark matter in the […]
