Kavli Affiliate: Peter F. Michelson | First 5 Authors: Peter F. Michelson, Robert L. Byer, Sasha Buchman, Ilya Mandel, John Lipa | Summary: We make the case for the early development of a Mid-Frequency-Band (MFB) gravitational wave (GW) observatory in geosynchronous orbit (73,000 km arm), optimized for the frequency band 10 mHz to 1 Hz. […]
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, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Burchat | First 5 Authors: Federica B. Bianco, Manda Banerji, John Bochanski, William N. Brandt, Patricia Burchat | Summary: Through the lens of the LSST Science Collaborations’ experience, this paper advocates for new and improved ways to fund large, complex collaborations at the interface of data science and astrophysics as they work […]
Kavli Affiliate: Igor Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Julie McEnery, Juan Abel Barrio, Ivan Agudo, Marco Ajello, José-Manuel Álvarez | Summary: The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO) is a probe class mission concept that will provide essential contributions to multimessenger astrophysics in the late 2020s and beyond. AMEGO combines high sensitivity in the 200 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ethan D. Karpel | First 5 Authors: The Simons Observatory Collaboration, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Shunsuke Adachi, Peter Ade, James Aguirre | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment sited on Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert in Chile that promises to provide breakthrough discoveries in fundamental physics, […]
