Kavli Affiliate: Keith L. Thompson | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Westbrook, Christopher Raum, Shawn Beckman, Adrian T. Lee, Nicole Farias | Summary: LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led strategic Large-Class satellite mission designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background and cosmic foregrounds from 34 to 448 GHz across the entire sky from L2 in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eli S. Rykoff | First 5 Authors: LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, Robert Armstrong, Humna Awan, Yadu N. Babuji | Summary: In preparation for cosmological analyses of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (LSST DESC) has created a 300 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth W. Digel | First 5 Authors: LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, Robert Armstrong, Humna Awan, Yadu N. Babuji | Summary: In preparation for cosmological analyses of the Vera C.

Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Godfrey, J. Anthony Tyson, Seth Hillbrand, Jon Balajthy, Daniel Polin | Summary: We are building an experiment to search for dark matter in the form of dark photons in the nano- to milli-eV mass range. This experiment is the electromagnetic dual of magnetic detector dark radio […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Dubois | First 5 Authors: Adam Snyder, Aurelien Barrau, Andrew Bradshaw, Boyd Bowdish, James Chiang | Summary: Electro-optical testing and characterization of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Camera focal plane, consisting of 205 charge-coupled devices (CCDs) arranged into 21 stand-alone Raft Tower Modules (RTMs) and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Andrew Romero-Wolf, Geoffrey Bryden, Sara Seager, N. Jeremy Kasdin, Jeff Booth | Summary: Launching a starshade to rendezvous with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would provide the first opportunity to directly image the habitable zones of nearby sunlike stars in the coming decade. A report on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noemie Globus, Anatoli Fedynitch, Roger D. Blandford, , | Summary: It has been proposed that spin-polarized cosmic radiation can induce asymmetric changes in helical biopolymers that may account for the emergence of biological homochirality. The parity violation in the weak interaction has direct consequences on the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Mitziu Echeverria, Zeeshan Ahmed, Bincheng Wang, M. Fareed Arif, Syed Rafiul Hussain | Summary: End-user-devices in the current cellular ecosystem are prone to many different vulnerabilities across different generations and protocol layers. Fixing these vulnerabilities retrospectively can be expensive, challenging, or just infeasible. A pragmatic approach for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Lea A. Hirsch, Lee Rosenthal, Benjamin J. Fulton, Andrew W. Howard, David R. Ciardi | Summary: We explore the impact of outer stellar companions on the occurrence rate of giant planets detected with radial velocities. We searched for stellar and planetary companions to a volume-limited sample of […]
