The Compton Spectrometer and Imager
John A. Tomsick, Andreas Zoglauer, Clio Sleator +21
In this Astro2020 APC White Paper, we describe a Small Explorer (SMEX) mission concept called the Compton Spectrometer and Imager. COSI is a Compton telescope that covers the bandp…
Kepler Observations of V447 Lyr: An Eclipsing U Gem Cataclysmic Variable
Gavin Ramsay, John K. Cannizzo, Steve B. Howell +4
We present the results of an analysis of data covering 1.5 years of the dwarf nova V447 Lyr. We detect eclipses of the accretion disk by the mass donating secondary star every 3.74…
BOKS 45906: a CV with an orbital period of 56.6 min in the Kepler field?
Gavin Ramsay, Steve B. Howell, Matt A. Wood +6
BOKS 45906 was found to be a blue source in the Burrell-Optical-Kepler-Survey which showed a 3 mag outburst lasting ~5 d. We present the Kepler light curve of this source which cov…
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager Project for MeV Astronomy
John A. Tomsick, Steven E. Boggs, Andreas Zoglauer +33
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a 0.2-5 MeV Compton telescope capable of imaging, spectroscopy, and polarimetry of astrophysical sources. Such capabilities are made p…
Best Practices for Data Publication in the Astronomical Literature
Tracy X. Chen, Marion Schmitz, Joseph M. Mazzarella +42
We present an overview of best practices for publishing data in astronomy and astrophysics journals. These recommendations are intended as a reference for authors to help prepare a…
The Future of Gamma-Ray Experiments in the MeV-EeV Range
Kristi Engel, Jordan Goodman, Petra Huentemeyer +95
Gamma-rays, the most energetic photons, carry information from the far reaches of extragalactic space with minimal interaction or loss of information. They bring messages about par…
