Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | Summary:The coming years of gravitational wave astrophysics promises thousands of new detections, which can unlock fundamental scientific insights if the information in each observation can be properly synthesized into a coherent picture. State-of-the-art approaches often accomplish this with hierarchical Bayesian inference. However, this typically relies on Monte Carlo approximations that […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | Summary:In recent years, localized fast radio bursts (FRBs) have emerged as a powerful tool to study the structure of the baryonic matter in the universe. Their dispersion measures (DMs) scale linearly with electron density independent of gas temperature, making them particularly well suited to studying the intragroup medium (IGrM), where […]

Lanman, , , | Summary:Fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide a sensitive probe of diffuse baryons: their dispersion measures (DMs) measure electron density independent of temperature and scale linearly with gas density. This makes them particularly well suited to studying the intragroup medium (IGrM), […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | Summary:Observations from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) have revealed electric vector position angle (EVPA) rotation in several neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries, including the galactic X-ray burster GX 13+1. We developed a novel Bayesian nested sampling framework-"Q-U Event-by-Event Nested sampling for Bayesian EVPA Evolution" (QUEEN-BEE)-to model unbinned Stokes parameters […]
