Real Time Classification of Transient Events in Synoptic Sky Surveys
Ashish A. Mahabal, C. Donalek, S. G. Djorgovski +6
An automated, rapid classification of transient events detected in the modern synoptic sky surveys is essential for their scientific utility and effective follow-up using scarce re…
Propagation of Aberrations through Phase Induced Amplitude Apodization coronagraph
Laurent Pueyo, N. Jeremy Kasdin, Stuart Shaklan
The specification of polishing requirements for the optics in coronagraphs dedicated to exo-planet detection requires careful and accurate optical modelling. Numerical representati…
A Well-Posed Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability Test and Comparison
Colin P. McNally, Wladimir Lyra, Jean-Claude Passy
Recently, there has been a significant level of discussion of the correct treatment of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the astrophysical community. This discussion relies largely o…
Discovery, classification, and scientific exploration of transient events from the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
A. A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, A. J. Drake +8
Exploration of the time domain - variable and transient objects and phenomena - is rapidly becoming a vibrant research frontier, touching on essentially every field of astronomy an…
Towards an Automated Classification of Transient Events in Synoptic Sky Surveys
S. G. Djorgovski, C. Donalek, A. Mahabal +6
We describe the development of a system for an automated, iterative, real-time classification of transient events discovered in synoptic sky surveys. The system under development i…
PIONIER: a 4-telescope visitor instrument at VLTI
Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, J. -P. Berger, B. Lazareff +43
PIONIER stands for Precision Integrated-Optics Near-infrared Imaging ExpeRiment. It combines four 1.8m Auxilliary Telescopes or four 8m Unit Telescopes of the Very Large Telescope…
GalMass: A Smartphone Application for Estimating Galaxy Masses
Kyle R. Stewart
This note documents the methods used by the smartphone application, "GalMass," which has been released on the Android Market. GalMass estimates the halo virial mass (Mvir), stellar…
Lossy compression of weak lensing data
R. Ali Vanderveld, Gary M. Bernstein, Chris Stoughton +4
Future orbiting observatories will survey large areas of sky in order to constrain the physics of dark matter and dark energy using weak gravitational lensing and other methods. Lo…
EVLA Observations of Galactic Supernova Remnants: Wide-field Continuum and Spectral-index Imaging
S. Bhatnagar, U. Rau, D. A. Green +1
The radio continuum emission from the Galaxy has a rich mix of thermal and non-thermal emission. This very richness makes their interpretation challenging since the low radio opaci…
Thermal architecture for the SPIDER flight cryostat
J. E. Gudmundsson, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +40
We describe the cryogenic system for SPIDER, a balloon-borne microwave polarimeter that will map 8% of the sky with degree-scale angular resolution. The system consists of a 1284 L…
