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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: 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 in preparation for and on peta-scale, complex surveys, of which LSST is a prime example. We advocate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kathryn Schaffer | Summary:This essay provides a short introduction to the ideas and potential implications of quantum physics for scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Quantum-inspired ideas pepper current discourse in all of these fields, in ways that range from playful metaphors to sweeping ontological claims. We explain several of the […]
