A Submission to the NSF MPSAC

TL;DR: The US nuclear community has an opportunity to capitalize on advances in astrophysical observations and nuclear experiments and engage in an interdisciplinary effort in the theory of dense baryonic matter that connects low and high-energy nuclear physics, astrophysics, gravitational waves physics, and data science as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of models of MeV-GeV dark matter in which dark matter interacts strongly can be constrained by the observation of gravitational waves from neutron star mergers.

TL;DR: This Letter uses data from a seismometer array deployed at the corner station of the LIGO Hanford detector combined with a tiltmeter for a detailed characterization of the seismic field and to predict achievable Newtonian-noise subtraction levels and shows that the ground tilt to differential arm-length coupling observed during LigO's second science run is consistent with gravitational coupling.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors use simple performance metrics to assess the science capabilities of planned and future networks for binary neutron stars and black holes and include network detection e ciency and detection rate of cosmological sources and their number densities as a function of redshift, signal-to-noise ratios and the accuracy with which intrinsic and extrinsic parameters would be measured.
