Design and experimental demonstration of a laser modulation system for future gravitational-wave detectors

Posted by klaurent August 16, 2019Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Takaaki Kajita | Summary:Detuning the signal-recycling cavity length from a cavity resonance significantly improves the quantum noise beyond the standard quantum limit, while there is no km-scale gravitational-wave detector successfully implemented the technique. The detuning technique is known to introduce great excess noise, and such noise can be reduced by a laser modulation […]

MFB: A Mid-Frequency-Band Space Gravitational Wave Observer for the 2020 Decade

Posted by klaurent August 7, 2019Stanford

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.

MFB: A Mid-Frequency-Band Space Gravitational Wave Observer for the 2020 Decade

Posted by klaurent August 7, 2019Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Byer | 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. MFB bridges the science acquisition frequencies between the ground observatories LIGO/VIRGO (4/3 km arm – as well as […]

The in-situ exploration of Jupiter’s radiation belts (A White Paper submitted in response to ESA’s Voyage 2050 Call)

Posted by klaurent August 6, 2019MIT

Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | Summary:Jupiter has the most energetic and complex radiation belts in our solar system. Their hazardous environment is the reason why so many spacecraft avoid rather than investigate them, and explains how they have kept many of their secrets so well hidden, despite having been studied for decades. In this White […]

Astro2020 APC White Paper: Providing a Timely Review of Input Demographics to Advisory Committees

Posted by klaurent July 30, 2019MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | 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, policies and future directions. As with any scientific endeavor, there is concern over complementing these committees with […]

Making the Case for Visualization

Posted by klaurent July 24, 2019Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Mark SubbaRao | Summary:Visual representation of information is a fundamental tool for advancing our understanding of science. It enables the research community to extract new knowledge from complex datasets, and plays an equally vital role in communicating new results across a spectrum of public audiences. Visualizations which make research results accessible to the […]
