SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Maryam Modjaz
DESCRIPTION:Stellar Forensics with the Most Powerful Explosions in the Universe\nCore-collapse Supernovae (SNe)\, Long-duration Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) and exotic transients are exploding massive stars and constitute the most powerful explosions in the universe. Because they are visible over large cosmological distances\, release elements heavier than Helium\, and leave behind extreme remnants such as black holes\, they are fascinating objects\, as well as crucial tools for many areas of astrophysics.However\, for many decades the fundamental question of which stellar systems give rise to which kinds of explosions has remained outstanding. I will discuss the exciting recent progress that we have made on this question in key areas by publishing and thoroughly analyzing the largest data sets in the world at the time\, as well as by developing sophisticated radiative transfer methods to reconstruct the exploded star. I will conclude with an outlook on how the most promising venues of research – using the existing and upcoming innovative large time-domain surveys such as Zwicky Transient Facility II and Rubin’s LSST – will shed new light on the diverse deaths of stars.

SUMMARY:ECAP mini-series Exploring Gravity: Michèle Heurs
DESCRIPTION:Gravitational waves in a new light\nUltra-precisely stabilised lasers are the interferometric light sources at the heart of gravitational wave detectors. To achieve ever-higher detection rates for meaningful gravitational wave astronomy\, ever-greater detection sensitivity is required. In this talk\, I will introduce the principle of interferometric gravitational wave detection\, and highlight some of the advanced technologies employed in Advanced LIGO. \nCurrent-generation gravitational wave detectors are already limited by quantum noise of the laser light over wide ranges of their detection band. One sophisticated technique that is already routinely being employed to increase the quantum-limited sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors is the use of non-classical (fixed-quadrature squeezed) light. I will conclude my talk by showing some recent results\, as well as options for quantum noise reduction in laser interferometry and the broader field of quantum optics.
