Imprints of gravitational-wave polarizations on projected tidal tensor in three dimensions

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | Summary:Gravitational waves (GWs) distort galaxy shapes through the tidal effect, offering a novel avenue to probe the nature of gravity. In this paper, we investigate how extra GW polarizations beyond those predicted by general relativity imprint observable signatures on galaxy shapes. Since galaxy shapes are measured as two-dimensional images projected […]

Quadratic Programming-Based Posture Manipulation and Thrust-vectoring for Agile Dynamic Walking on Narrow Pathways

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib| Summary:There has been significant advancement in legged robot’s agility where they can show impressive acrobatic maneuvers, such as parkour. These maneuvers rely heavily on posture manipulation. To expand the stability and locomotion plasticity, we use the multi-modal ability in our legged-aerial platform, the Husky Beta, to perform thruster-assisted walking. This robot […]

Echoes in Different Tempo: Long-Term Monitoring of Crab Echoes with CHIME

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | Summary:The Crab Pulsar is known to feature plasma lensing events known as echoes. These events are characterized by additional components in the pulse profile which are produced by additional images formed when the pulsar’s radio emission is deflected by ionized nebular material. These components are therefore delayed relative to the […]
