Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Arnab Sarkar, Yuanyuan Su, Scott Randall, Fabio Gastaldello, Isabella Trierweiler | Summary: We present joint Suzaku and Chandra observations of MKW4. With a global temperature of 1.6 keV, MKW4 is one of the smallest galaxy groups that have been mapped in X-rays out to the virial radius. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ralf K. Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Ralf K. Heilmann, Alexander R. Bruccoleri, Jungki Song, Matthew T. Cook, James A. Gregory | Summary: High-resolution ($R = lambda /Delta lambda > 2000$) x-ray absorption and emission line spectroscopy in the soft x-ray band is a crucial diagnostic for the exploration of the properties of […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Evan D. Hall, Kevin Kuns, Joshua R. Smith, Yuntao Bai, Christopher Wipf | Summary: Cosmic Explorer (CE) is a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory concept, envisioned to begin operation in the 2030s, and expected to be capable of observing binary neutron star and black hole mergers back to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ralf K. Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Herman L. Marshall, Sarah N. T. Heine, Alan Garner, Eric M. Gullikson, H. Moritz Günther | Summary: We describe a new implementation of a broad-band soft X-ray polarimeter, substantially based on a previous design. This implementation, the Pioneer Soft X-ray Polarimeter (PiSoX) is a SmallSat, designed […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, :, Jillian Bellovary, Peter Bender, Emanuele Berti | Summary: The NASA LISA Study Team was tasked to study how NASA might support US scientists to participate and maximize the science return from the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. LISA is gravitational wave observatory led […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Anirudh Chiti, Anna Frebel, Joshua D. Simon, Denis Erkal, Laura J. Chang | Summary: The Milky Way is surrounded by dozens of ultra-faint (< $10^5$ solar luminosities) dwarf satellite galaxies. They are the surviving remnants of the earliest galaxies, as confirmed by their ancient (~13 billion years […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marshall W. Bautz | First 5 Authors: Catherine E. Grant, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz, Tanja Eraerds, Silvano Molendi | Summary: One of the science goals of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA’s Athena X-ray observatory is to map hot gas structures in the universe, such as clusters and groups of […]
