Galileo Project Observatory Class System Architecture
Phillip Bridgham, Alex Delacroix, Laura Domine +11
Scientific investigation of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) is limited by poor data quality and a lack of transparency. Existing data are often fragmented, uncalibrated, and…
Census of R Coronae Borealis stars I: Infrared light curves from Palomar Gattini IR
Viraj R. Karambelkar, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Patrick Tisserand +16
We are undertaking the first systematic infrared (IR) census of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars in the Milky Way, beginning with IR light curves from the Palomar Gattini IR (PGIR) s…
The first ultracompact Roche lobe-filling hot subdwarf binary
Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Thomas R. Marsh +29
We report the discovery of the first short period binary in which a hot subdwarf star (sdOB) fills its Roche lobe and started mass transfer to its companion. The object was discove…
A Hardware and Software Platform for Aerial Object Localization
Matthew Szenher, Alex Delacroix, Eric Keto +5
To date, there are little reliable data on the position, velocity and acceleration characteristics of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). The dual hardware and software system des…
The infrared imaging spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: spectrograph design
Anna M. Moore, Brian J. Bauman, Elizabeth J. Barton +6
The Infra-Red Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is one of the three first light instruments for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) and is the only one to directly sample the diffraction li…
The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Instrument Overview
James E. Larkin, Anna M. Moore, Elizabeth J. Barton +16
We present an overview of the design of IRIS, an infrared (0.85 - 2.5 micron) integral field spectrograph and imaging camera for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). With extremely lo…
