Kepler K2 Campaign 9: II. First space-based discovery of an exoplanet using microlensing
D. Specht, R. Poleski, M. T. Penny +83
We present K2-2016-BLG-0005Lb, a densely sampled, planetary binary caustic-crossing microlensing event found from a blind search of data gathered from Campaign 9 of the Kepler K2 m…
Extended source fringe flats for the JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer
N. Crouzet, M. Mueller, B. Sargent +17
The detectors of the JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) form low-finesse resonating cavities that cause periodic count rate modulations (fring…
A Hard X-ray Test of HCN Enhancements as a Tracer of Embedded Black Hole Growth
G. C. Privon, C. Ricci, S. Aalto +18
Enhanced emission from the dense gas tracer HCN (relative to HCO) has been proposed as a signature of active galactic nuclei (AGN). In a previous single-dish millimeter line s…
Geometric distortion and astrometric calibration of the JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer
P. Patapis, I. Argyriou, D. R. Law +12
The Medium-Resolution integral field Spectrometer (MRS) of MIRI on board JWST performs spectroscopy between 5 and 28~m. The optics of the MRS introduce substantial distortion,…
Campaign 9 of the Mission: Observational Parameters, Scientific Drivers, and Community Involvement for a Simultaneous Space- and Ground-based Microlensing Survey
Calen B. Henderson, RadosÅaw Poleski, Matthew Penny +118
's Campaign 9 (C9) will conduct a 3.7 deg survey toward the Galactic bulge from 7/April through 1/July of 2016 that will leverage the spatial separation between…
A Very Large Array Survey of Luminous Extranuclear Star-forming Regions in Luminous Infrared Galaxies in GOALS
S. T. Linden, Y. Song, A. S. Evans +13
We present the first results of a high-resolution Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) imaging survey of luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) in the Great Obser…
The PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha Nebulae Catalogue
A. T. Barnes, R. Chandar, K. Kreckel +38
We present the PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha nebulae catalogue, comprising 5177 spatially resolved nebulae across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies (< 20 Mpc), based on high-resolution Halp…
JWST MIRI/MRS in-flight absolute flux calibration and tailored fringe correction for unresolved sources
D. Gasman, I. Argyriou, G. C. Sloan +18
The MRS is one of the four observing modes of JWST/MIRI. Using JWST in-flight data of unresolved (point) sources, we can derive the MRS absolute spectral response function (ASRF) s…
Massive Star Cluster Formation and Destruction in Luminous Infrared Galaxies in GOALS
S. T. Linden, A. S. Evans, J. Rich +16
We present the results of a {\it Hubble Space Telescope} ACS/HRC FUV, ACS/WFC optical study into the cluster populations of a sample of 22 Luminous Infrared Galaxies in the Great O…
