Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Chao Liu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Shawn W. Henderson, Ryan Herbst, Larry Ruckman | Summary: The SLAC Microresonator Radio Frequency (SMuRF) electronics is being deployed as the readout for the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) telescopes of the Simons Observatory (SO). A Radio Frequency System-on-Chip (RFSoC) based readout of microwave […]

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Maya Benyas, Jordan Pfeifer, Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen, Elise Darragh-Ford | Summary: The X-ray morphologies of clusters of galaxies display significant variations, reflecting their dynamical histories and the nonlinear dependence of X-ray emissivity on the density of the intracluster gas. Qualitative and quantitative assessments […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Sofia V. Forsblom, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Juri Poutanen, Victor Doroshenko, Alexander A. Mushtukov | Summary: Recent observations of X-ray pulsars (XRPs) performed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) have made it possible to investigate the intricate details of these objects in a new way, thanks to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Sara I. Walker, Cole Mathis, Stuart Marshall, Leroy Cronin, | Summary: Assembly Theory (AT) was developed to help distinguish living from non-living systems. The theory is simple as it posits that the amount of selection or Assembly is a function of the number of complex objects where […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera, Magali Deleuil, Anders Erikson | Summary: PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA’s M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large number of stars. PLATO will detect small planets (down to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Kenneth C. Wong, Frédéric Dux, Anowar J. Shajib, Sherry H. Suyu, Martin Millon | Summary: Time-delay cosmography is a powerful technique to constrain cosmological parameters, particularly the Hubble constant ($H_{0}$). The TDCOSMO collaboration is performing an ongoing analysis of lensed quasars to constrain cosmology using this […]
