Observational astrophysics

About
Regular biography

Kipp Cannon is a faculty member at the Research Center for the Early Universe (RESCEU) at The University of Tokyo, where he works in the Department of Physics. His research focuses on observational astrophysics, particularly the detection and interpretation of gravitational waves from collisions of compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars. Cannon is a member of KAGRA and the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, and his work includes searches for gravitational waves from such mergers. His research also encompasses gravitational-wave bursts from cosmic strings, omnidirectional aperture synthesis, low-latency gravitational-wave searches, long-duration radio transients, and noncontact medical sensing.


Scholar profile summary
Scholar-generated biography

K. C. Cannon is a researcher at the University of Tokyo, specializing in gravitational wave astronomy. His work focuses on the detection and analysis of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers, including binary black hole and binary neutron star systems. Cannon has contributed to major observational campaigns such as GWTC-1, GWTC-2, and GWTC-3, which catalog gravitational wave events detected by LIGO and Virgo. His research includes studies of specific events like GW170817, GW150914, and GW190521, which provide insights into the properties of neutron stars, black holes, and the nature of general relativity. His work also explores the implications of gravitational wave observations for astrophysics and cosmology.
