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: Steven M. Kahn | First 5 Authors: Guillem Megias Homar, Steven M. Kahn, Joshua M. Meyers, John Franklin Crenshaw, Sandrine J. Thomas | Summary: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a unique facility for survey astronomy that will soon be commissioned and begin operations. Crucial to many of its scientific goals is the […]

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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Thomas P. Satterthwaite, Zeeshan Ahmed, Kyuyoung Bae, Mark Devlin, Simon Dicker | Summary: The Simons Observatory is a new ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment, which is currently being commissioned in Chile’s Atacama Desert. During its survey, the observatory’s small aperture telescopes will map 10% of the sky […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: The BICEP/Keck Collaboration, :, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri | Summary: The BICEP/$textit{Keck}$ (BK) series of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments has, over the past decade and a half, produced a series of field-leading constraints on cosmic inflation via measurements of the "B-mode" […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: PSR J2215+5135 (J2215) is a `redback’ spider pulsar, where the intrabinary shock (IBS) wraps around the pulsar rather than the stellar-mass companion. Spider orbital light curves are modulated, dominated by their binary companion thermal emission in […]
