A Scalable Cryogenic LED Module for Selectively Illuminating Kinetic Inductance Detector Arrays
Jordan E. Shroyer, Matt Nelson, Liam Walters +1
We present the design and measured performance of a light emitting diode (LED) module for spatially mapping kinetic inductance detector (KID) arrays in the laboratory. Our novel ap…
Development of Fiber Fabry-Perot Interferometers as Stable Near-infrared Calibration Sources for High Resolution Spectrographs
Samuel Halverson, Suvrath Mahadevan, Lawrence Ramsey +10
We discuss the ongoing development of single-mode fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) Interferometers as precise astro-photonic calibration sources for high precision radial velocity (RV) spec…
TIC 172900988: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet Detected in One Sector of TESS Data
Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Jerome A. Orosz +86
We report the first discovery of a transiting circumbinary planet detected from a single sector of TESS data. During Sector 21, the planet TIC 172900988b transited the primary star…
The ISTI Rapid Response on Exploring Cloud Computing 2018
Carleton Coffrin, James Arnold, Stephan Eidenbenz +45
This report describes eighteen projects that explored how commercial cloud computing services can be utilized for scientific computation at national laboratories. These demonstrati…
The Habitable-Zone Planet Finder: A Stabilized Fiber-Fed NIR Spectrograph for the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
Suvrath Mahadevan, Lawrence Ramsey, Chad Bender +12
We present the scientific motivation and conceptual design for the recently funded Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF), a stabilized fiber-fed near-infrared (NIR) spectrograph for t…
First Light with ALES: A 2-5 Micron Adaptive Optics Integral Field Spectrograph for the LBT
Andrew J. Skemer, Philip Hinz, Manny Montoya +9
Integral field spectrographs are an important technology for exoplanet imaging, due to their ability to take spectra in a high-contrast environment, and improve planet detection se…
