Development of the ROSIE Integral Field Unit on the Magellan IMACS Spectrograph

Rosalie C. McGurk, Stephen A. Shectman, Leon Aslan +1

We are building an image slicer integral field unit (IFU) to go on the IMACS wide-field imaging spectrograph on the Magellan Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, the Reform…

Searches after Gravitational Waves Using ARizona Observatories (SAGUARO): Observations and Analysis from Advanced LIGO/Virgo's Third Observing Run

K. Paterson, M. J. Lundquist, J. C. Rastinejad +34

With the conclusion of the third observing run for Advanced LIGO/Virgo (O3), we present a detailed analysis of both triggered and serendipitous observations of 17 gravitational wav…

Orbital Clustering Identifies the Origins of Galactic Stellar Streams

Ana Bonaca, Rohan P. Naidu, Charlie Conroy +9

The origins of most stellar streams in the Milky Way are unknown. With improved proper motions provided by Gaia EDR3, we show that the orbits of 23 Galactic stellar streams are hig…

At Least One-in-Six Galaxies Is Always Dead

L. E. Abramson, D. D. Kelson

Via numerical experiments, we show that the 10%-20% passive fraction seen at is consistent with galaxy star formation histories being maximally correlated stochastic pr…

Prospects for Galactic and stellar astrophysics with asteroseismology of giant stars in the Continuous Viewing Zones and beyond

J. Ted Mackereth, Andrea Miglio, Yvonne Elsworth +30

The NASA- mission presents a treasure trove for understanding the stars it observes and the Milky Way, in which they reside. We present a first look at the prospects for…

A possible bright ultraviolet flash from a galaxy at redshift z ~ 11

Linhua Jiang, Shu Wang, Bing Zhang +8

In the optical sky, minutes-duration transients from cosmological distances are rare. Known objects that give rise to such transients include gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most lumi…
