Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Prigozhin | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Matthew Kaplan, Peter Orel, Kevan Donlon | Summary: The Single electron Sensitive Read Out (SiSeRO) is a novel on-chip charge detector output stage for charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors. Developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, this technology uses a p-MOSFET transistor with a depleted […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Joris Witstok, Irene Shivaei, Renske Smit, Roberto Maiolino, Stefano Carniani | Summary: Large dust reservoirs (up to $sim 10^8 , mathrm{M_odot}$) have been detected in galaxies out to redshift $z sim 8$, when the age of the universe was only about 600 Myr. Generating significant amounts of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Leon Shaposhnikov, Maxim Mazanov, Daniel A. Bobylev, Frank Wilczek, Maxim A. Gorlach | Summary: We consider the design of metamaterials whose behavior embodies the equations of axion electrodynamics. We derive an effective medium description of an assembly of magneto-optical layers with out-of-plane magnetization analytically and show how […]

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Daniel A. Yahalomi, Ruth Angus, David N. Spergel, Daniel Foreman-Mackey, | Summary: Earth-mass exoplanets on year-long orbits and cool gas giants (CGG) on decade-long orbits lie at the edge of current detection limits. The Terra Hunting Experiment (THE) will take nightly radial velocity (RV) observations on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Roxana Rosca-Mead, Michalis Agathos, Christopher J. Moore, Ulrich Sperhake, | Summary: In massive scalar-tensor gravity, core-collapse supernovae are strong sources of scalar-polarized gravitational waves. These can be detectable out to large distance. The dispersive nature of the propagation of waves in the massive scalar field mean the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Justin M. Wittrock, Peter Plavchan, Bryson L. Cale, Thomas Barclay, Mathis R. Ludwig | Summary: AU Mic is a young (22 Myr) nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess TTVs that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity. We present the statistical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Sean Heston, Emily Kehoe, Yudai Suwa, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Neutrinos allow the probing of stellar interiors during core collapse, helping to understand the different stages and processes in the collapse. To date, supernova neutrinos have only been detected from a single event, SN1987A. Most studies from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Geoffrey Mo, Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh, Erik Katsavounidis, George R. Ricker | Summary: In 2017, the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave (GW) detectors, in conjunction with electromagnetic (EM) astronomers, observed the first GW multi-messenger astrophysical event, the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817. This marked the beginning […]
