A host of new low-frequency radio telescopes seek to measure the 21-cm transition of neutral hydrogen from the early universe. These telescopes have the potential to directly probe…
New ADS Functionality for the Curator
Alberto Accomazzi, Michael J. Kurtz, Edwin A. Henneken +9
In this paper we provide an update concerning the operations of the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), its services and user interface, and the content currently indexed in its d…
How Many Kilonovae Can Be Found in Past, Present, and Future Survey Datasets?
D. Scolnic, R. Kessler, D. Brout +83
The discovery of a kilonova (KN) associated with the Advanced LIGO (aLIGO)/Virgo event GW170817 opens up new avenues of multi-messenger astrophysics. Here, using realistic simulati…
The SED Machine: a robotic spectrograph for fast transient classification
Nadejda Blagorodnova, James D. Neill, Richard Walters +13
Current time domain facilities are finding several hundreds of transient astronomical events a year. The discovery rate is expected to increase in the future as soon as new surveys…
Charge Diffusion Variations in Pan-STARRS\,1 CCDs
Eugene A. Magnier, J. L. Tonry, D. Finkbeiner +10
Thick back-illuminated deep-depletion CCDs have superior quantum efficiency over previous generations of thinned and traditional thick CCDs. As a result, they are being used for wi…
Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics on a moving mesh
Federico Marinacci, Mark Vogelsberger, Rahul Kannan +3
In certain astrophysical systems the commonly employed ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) approximation breaks down. Here, we introduce novel explicit and implicit numerical schemes…
MOSFiT: Modular Open-Source Fitter for Transients
James Guillochon, Matt Nicholl, V. Ashley Villar +5
Much of the progress made in time-domain astronomy is accomplished by relating observational multi-wavelength time series data to models derived from our understanding of physical…
