The Ucsd/Keck Damped Lya Abundance Database: A Decade of High Resolution Spectroscopy
Jason X. Prochaska, Arthur M. Wolfe, J. Christopher Howk +3
We publish the Keck/HIRES and Keck/ESI spectra that we have obtained during the first 10 years of Keck observatory operations. Our full sample includes 42 HIRES spectra and 39 ESI…
AT 2024wpp: the most luminous fast-evolving optical transient linked to the merger explosion of a black-hole binary
Jialian Liu, Bao Wang, Xiaofeng Wang +48
Fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) represent one of the most exotic astrophysical transients, exhibiting unusually strong emission across X-ray, optical, and radio wavelengths. T…
The UCSD HIRES/KeckI Damped Lya Abundance Database: I. The Data
Jason X. Prochaska, Arthur M. Wolfe, David Tytler +6
We present new chemical abundance measurements of 16 damped Lya systems at z>1.5 and update our previous abundance analyses. The entire database presented here was derived from HIR…
The Deeper, Wider, Faster programme's first DECam optical data release
James Freeburn, Jeff Cooke, Anais Möller +17
The transient and variable optical sky is relatively poorly characterised on fast (1hr) timescales. With the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), the Deeper, Wider, Faster programme…
The Deeper Wider Faster program: chasing the fastest bursts in the Universe
Igor Andreoni, Jeff Cooke
We present the Deeper Wider Faster (DWF) program that coordinates more than 30 multi-wavelength and multi-messenger facilities worldwide and in space to detect and study fast trans…
Probing the circumgalactic medium of active galactic nuclei with background quasars
Glenn G. Kacprzak, Christopher W. Churchill, Michael T. Murphy +1
We performed a detailed study of the extended cool gas, traced by MgII absorption [~Ã ], surrounding 14 narrow-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at 0.12<z<0.22 u…
