Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Alexandra G. Hanselman, Aditya Vijaykumar, Maya Fishbach, Daniel E. Holz, | Summary: The discovery of GW170817 provided the first direct gravitational-wave measurement of the Hubble constant, $H_0$, demonstrating the potential power of standard-siren cosmology. The dark siren approach can be utilized for gravitational-wave sources in the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu| First 5 Authors: Irina Jurenka, Irina Jurenka, , , | Summary:A major challenge facing the world is the provision of equitable and universal access to quality education. Recent advances in generative AI (gen AI) have created excitement about the potential of new technologies to offer a personal tutor for every learner […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey J. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Carlos E. Sierra, Kathleen Harrington, Shreya Sutariya, Thomas Alford, Anna M. Kofman | Summary: The Simons Observatory will map the temperature and polarization over half of the sky, at millimeter wavelengths in six spectral bands from the Atacama Desert in Chile. These data will provide new […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | Summary:The Simons Observatory will map the temperature and polarization over half of the sky, at millimeter wavelengths in six spectral bands from the Atacama Desert in Chile. These data will provide new insights into the genesis, content, and history of our Universe; the astrophysics of galaxies and galaxy clusters; objects […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey J. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Galitzki, Tran Tsan, Jake Spisak, Michael Randall, Max Silva-Feaver | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that includes small-aperture telescopes (SATs) observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO SATs will […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | Summary:The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that includes small-aperture telescopes (SATs) observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO SATs will cover six spectral bands between 27 and 280 GHz to search for primordial B-modes to a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | Summary:Differential Chromatic Refraction (DCR) is caused by the wavelength dependence of our atmosphere’s refractive index, which shifts the apparent positions of stars and galaxies and distorts their shapes depending on their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). While this effect is typically mitigated and corrected for in imaging observations, we investigate how […]
