Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Teaya Yang, David Hathcock, Yuchao Chen, Paul McEuen, James P. Sethna | Summary: We propose a novel design paradigm for multistate machines where transitions from one state to another are organized by bifurcations of multiple equilibria of the energy landscape describing the collective interactions of the machine […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher Burke | Summary:With data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we showcase improvements to the MIT Quick-Look Pipeline (QLP) through the discovery and validation of a multi-planet system around M-dwarf TOI 4342 ($T_mag=11.032$, $M_* = 0.63 M_odot$, $R_* = 0.60 R_odot$, $T_eff = 3900$ K, $d = 61.54$ pc). With updates […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Amanda M. Farah, Bruce Edelman, Michael Zevin, Maya Fishbach, Jose María Ezquiaga | Summary: Several features in the mass spectrum of merging binary black holes (BBHs) have been identified using data from the Third Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3). These features are of particular interest as […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Michael McDonald, Behzad Ansarinejad, Matthew Bayliss, Bradford A. Benson | Summary: We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the galaxy cluster SPT-CL J0607-4448 (SPT0607), which is one of the most distant clusters discovered by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) at $z=1.4010pm0.0028$. The high-redshift cluster shows […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | Summary:Contemporary gravitational-wave detectors are fundamentally limited by thermal noise — due to dissipation in the mechanical elements of the test mass — and quantum noise — from the vacuum fluctuations of the optical field used to probe the test mass position. Two other fundamental noises can in principle also limit […]
