ComPair-2: A Next Generation Medium Energy Gamma-ray Telescope Prototype
Regina Caputo, Carolyn Kierans, Nicholas Cannady +30
Many questions posed in the Astro2020 Decadal survey in both the New Messengers and New Physics and the Cosmic Ecosystems science themes require a gamma-ray mission with capabiliti…
The 2023 Balloon Flight of the ComPair Instrument
Lucas D. Smith, Nicholas Cannady, Regina Caputo +29
The ComPair balloon instrument is a prototype gamma-ray telescope that aims to further develop technology for observing the gamma-ray sky in the MeV regime. ComPair combines four d…
Wavelet-based image decomposition method for NuSTAR stray light background studies
Andrey Mukhin, Roman Krivonos, Alexey Vikhlinin +3
The large side aperture of the NuSTAR telescope for unfocused photons (so-called stray light) is a known source of rich astrophysical information. To support many studies based on…
Satellite Optical Brightness
Forrest Fankhauser, J. Anthony Tyson, Jacob Askari
The apparent brightness of satellites is calculated as a function of satellite position as seen by a ground-based observer in darkness. Both direct illumination of the satellite by…
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory eXplorer (AMEGO-X) Mission Concept
Regina Caputo, Marco Ajello, Carolyn Kierans +52
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory eXplorer (AMEGO-X) is designed to identify and characterize gamma rays from extreme explosions and accelerators. The main science th…
Overview of the Instrumentation for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
B. Abareshi, J. Aguilar, S. Ahlen +264
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has embarked on an ambitious five-year survey to explore the nature of dark energy with spectroscopy of 40 million galaxies and quas…
Mitigation of LEO Satellite Brightness and Trail Effects on the Rubin Observatory LSST
J. Anthony Tyson, Željko Ivezić, Andrew Bradshaw +8
We report studies on the mitigation of optical effects of bright low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites on Vera C. Rubin Observatory and its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). These…
Precise Stellar Radial Velocities of an M Dwarf with a Michelson Interferometer and a Medium-resolution Near-infrared Spectrograph
Philip S. Muirhead, Jerry Edelstein, David J. Erskine +13
Precise near-infrared radial velocimetry enables efficient detection and transit verification of low-mass extrasolar planets orbiting M dwarf hosts, which are faint for visible-wav…
