Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Kielan K. W. Hoch, Quinn M. Konopacky, Travis S. Barman, Christopher A. Theissen, Laci Brock | Summary: We present moderate-resolution ($Rsim4000$) $K$ band spectra of the planetary-mass companion VHS 1256 b. The data were taken with the OSIRIS integral field spectrograph at the W.M. Keck Observatory. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | First 5 Authors: J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder | Summary: The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, USA. This […]

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Lindsey Payne, Robert T. Zellem, Marie Ygouf, Bruce Macintosh, | Summary: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s (Roman) Coronagraph Instrument is a technology demonstration equipped to achieve flux contrast levels of up to 10$^{-9}$. This precision depends upon the quality of observations and their resultant on-sky corrections […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, , | Summary: Dark compact objects ("clumps") transiting the Solar System exert accelerations on the test masses (TM) in a gravitational-wave (GW) detector. We reexamine the detectability of these clump transits in a variety of current and future […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Cyndia Yu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Jake A. Connors, J. Mitch D’Ewart, Bradley Dober | Summary: The microwave SQUID multiplexer (umux) has enabled higher bandwidth or higher channel counts across a wide range of experiments in particle physics, astronomy, and spectroscopy. The large multiplexing factor coupled with recent commercial […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Jacco Vink, Dmitry Prokhorov, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Patrick Slane, Ping Zhou | Summary: We report on a 5$sigma$ detection of polarized 3-6 keV X-ray emission from the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission. The overall polarization degree of 1.8 $pm$ 0.3% is […]
