Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Eve Schoen, Calvin Leung, Kiyoshi Masui, Daniele Michilli, Pragya Chawla | Summary: We describe a pipeline to measure scintillation in fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by CHIME/FRB in the 400-800 MHz band by analyzing the frequency structure of the FRB’s spectrum. We use the pipeline to measure […]

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall Bautz | First 5 Authors: Charlotte Feldman, Paul O’Brien, Nicholas White, Wayne Baumgartner, Nicholas Thomas | Summary: The Lobster Eye X-ray Telescope (LEXT) is one of the payloads on-board the Gamow Explorer, which will be proposed to the 2021 NASA Explorer MIDEX opportunity. If approved, it will be launched in 2028, and […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Vicky Kalogera, B. S. Sathyaprakash, Matthew Bailes, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Alessandra Buonanno | Summary: The next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will observe coalescences of black holes and neutron stars throughout the cosmos, thousands of them with exceptional fidelity. The Science Book is the result of a 3-year […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Francesco Ubertosi, Myriam Gitti, Fabrizio Brighenti, Gianfranco Brunetti, Michael McDonald | Summary: We present the first results of a deep $Chandra$ observation of the galaxy cluster RBS 797, whose previous X-ray studies revealed two pronounced X-ray cavities in the east-west (E-W) direction. Follow-up VLA radio observations of […]
