Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Alice P. Curtin, Sloane Sirota, Victoria M. Kaspi, Shriharsh P. Tendulkar, Mohit Bhardwaj | Summary: We use the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) Fast Radio Burst (FRB) Project to search for FRBs that are temporally and spatially coincident with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) occurring between 2018 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Luke Weisenbach, Timo Anguita, Jordi Miralda-Escudé, Masamune Oguri, Prasenjit Saha | Summary: Microlensing near macro-caustics is a complex phenomenon in which swarms of micro-images produced by micro-caustics form on both sides of a macro-critical curve. Recent discoveries of highly magnified images of individual stars in massive […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | First 5 Authors: Sander M. Vermeulen, Torrey Cullen, Daniel Grass, Ian A. O. MacMillan, Alexander J. Ramirez | Summary: The GQuEST (Gravity from the Quantum Entanglement of Space-Time) experiment uses tabletop-scale Michelson laser interferometers to probe for fluctuations in space-time. We present an interferometer design featuring a novel photon counting […]

We present a practicable interferometer design featuring a novel photon […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Sayak Datta, Richard Brito, Scott A. Hughes, Talya Klinger, Paolo Pani | Summary: Tidal heating in a binary black hole system is driven by the absorption of energy and angular momentum by the black hole’s horizon. Previous works have shown that this phenomenon becomes particularly significant […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Erin Kara, Claude Canizares, Deepto Chakrabarty | Summary: Evidence suggests that when compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars form, they may receive a “natal kick,” where the stellar remnant gains momentum. Observational evidence for neutron star kicks is substantial, […]
