LIGO operates with quantum noise below the Standard Quantum Limit

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Zucker | First 5 Authors: Wenxuan Jia, Victoria Xu, Kevin Kuns, Masayuki Nakano, Lisa Barsotti | Summary: Precision measurements of space and time, like those made by the detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), are often confronted with fundamental limitations imposed by quantum mechanics. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle dictates that […]

Stochastic prior for non-parametric star-formation histories

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Jenny T. Wan, Sandro Tacchella, Benjamin D. Johnson, Kartheik G. Iyer, Joshua S. Speagle | Summary: The amount of power contained in the variations in galaxy star-formation histories (SFHs) across a range of timescales encodes key information about the physical processes which modulate star formation. Modelling the […]
