Kavli Affiliate: Slawomir Gras | First 5 Authors: Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai, Bryan Barr, Riccardo Bassiri | Summary: The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To maximize the reach of the existing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog, Scott A. Hughes, Philippe Jetzer | Summary: In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental physics. Given the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | First 5 Authors: Nicolas Lair, Clément Delgrange, David Mugisha, Jean-Michel Dussoux, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer | Summary: People are becoming increasingly comfortable using Digital Assistants (DAs) to interact with services or connected objects. However, for non-programming users, the available possibilities for customizing their DA are limited and do not include the possibility […]
Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | First 5 Authors: Nancy Remage Evans, Ignazio Pillitteri, Laszlo Molnar, Laszlo Szabados, Emese Plachy | Summary: V473 Lyr is a classical Cepheid which is unique in having substantial amplitude variations with a period of approximately 3.3 years, thought to be similar to the Blazhko variations in RR Lyrae stars. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Principe | First 5 Authors: Sebastián Pérez, Antonio Hales, Hauyu Baobab Liu, Zhaohuan Zhu, Simon Casassus | Summary: FU Orionis objects are low-mass pre-main sequence stars characterized by dramatic outbursts of several magnitudes in brightness. These outbursts are linked to episodic accretion events in which stars gain a significant portion of their […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | First 5 Authors: Paolo Soffitta, Niccolò Bucciantini, Eugene Churazov, Enrico Costa, Michal Dovciak | Summary: Since the birth of X-ray Astronomy, spectacular advances have been seen in the imaging, spectroscopic and timing studies of the hot and violent X-ray Universe, and further leaps forward are expected in the future. On […]

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Jamie S. Rankin, David J. McComas, John D. Richardson, Nathan A. Schwadron, | Summary: In mid-2012, a GMIR observed by Voyager 2 crossed through the heliosheath and collided with the heliopause, generating a pressure pulse that propagated into the very local interstellar medium. The effects of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Catherine Grant | First 5 Authors: Esra Bulbul, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen, Michael Freyberg, Eric D. Miller | Summary: The particle-induced background of X-ray observatories is produced by Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) primary protons, electrons, and He ions. Events due to direct interaction with the detector are usually removed by on board processing. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | First 5 Authors: Dara Norman, Terri J. Brandt, Nancy D. Morrison, Sarah Tuttle, Julie Rathbun | Summary: Organizations that support science (astronomy) such as federal agencies, research centers, observatories, academic institutions, societies, etc. employ advisory committees and boards as a mechanism for reviewing their activities and giving advice on practices, […]
