Simulating the Galactic graveyard The next 15 years promise a revolution in our understanding of the formation and evolution of compact objects in binary systems. Observations across both the electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational wave (GW) spectrums will...

Journey to the Center of the Super-Earth Sub-Neptune, super-Earth size exoplanets are a new planet class. Though absent from the Solar System, they are found by microlensing, radial velocity, and transit surveys to be common around distant stars. In this...

Title: Towards a 5-sigma detection on the sum of the neutrino masses Abstract: I will briefly show how the observation of neutrino oscillations have pointed out that neutrinos have masses, showing the existence of physics beyond the standard model...

Andra Stroe (CfA) and Jubee Sohn (CfA) talking about “Galaxy evolution in dense environments”.

Panning for gold with things that go bang in the night Abstract: Electromagnetic follow-up observations of the gravitational wave-detected binary neutron star merger (NSM) GW1701817 suggested that material ejected from the accretion disk formed in the...

What We Can Do With 500,000 Type Ia Supernovae While Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) are one of the most mature cosmological probes, the next era promises to be extremely exciting in the number of different ways SNIa are used to measure various cosmological...
