GUEST: Gravitational Universe Exploration with Satellite Tracking. A passive satellite laser-ranging mission for the dark gravitational Universe
Diego Blas, Aurélien Hees, F. Javier Atapuerca +78
GUEST is a space mission concept whose central objective is the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) in the microhertz band -- a physics-rich frequency window that no other prese…
Unveiling the Microhertz Gravitational-Wave Sky with the Square Kilometre Array Observatory
Alexander C. Jenkins, Diego Blas, Joshua W. Foster
The gravitational-wave sky is expected to contain a rich variety of sources across a very broad range of frequencies. Much like in electromagnetic astronomy, exploring new gravitat…
Global detector network to search for high-frequency gravitational waves (GravNet): conceptual design
Dorian Amaral, Diego Blas, Yuliia Borysenkova +30
We propose GravNet (Global detector network to search for high-frequency gravitational waves), a novel experimental scheme enabling the search for gravitational waves in the MHz to…
NovaMoon: A Strategic Lunar Reference Station for Positioning, Timing, and Largely Enhanced Science in the Earth-Moon System
Serena Molli, Agnès Fienga, Pascale Defraigne +82
The renewed interest in lunar exploration and the development of future lunar communication and navigation services highlight the need for a precise, stable, and interoperable geod…
Challenges and Opportunities of Gravitational Wave Searches above 10 kHz
Nancy Aggarwal, Odylio D. Aguiar, Diego Blas +34
The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges…
Bridging the micro-Hz gravitational wave gap via Doppler tracking with the Uranus Orbiter and Probe Mission: Massive black hole binaries, early universe signals and ultra-light dark matter
Lorenz Zwick, Deniz Soyuer, Daniel J. D'Orazio +6
With the recent announcement by NASA's \textit{Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032}, a priority flagship mission to the planet Uranus is anticipated. Here,…
