The intrinsic luminosity-decay correlation in subsamples of GRB X-ray afterglows
S. P. R. Shilling, S. R. Oates, J. L. Racusin +6
The intrinsic luminosity-decay correlation in gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows, between the early-time luminosity and the average rate of decay past this time, has previously been…
Evidence for an intrinsic luminosity-decay correlation in GRB radio afterglows
S. P. R. Shilling, S. R. Oates, D. A. Kann +12
We present the discovery of a correlation, in a sample of 16 gamma-ray burst 8.5 GHz radio afterglows, between the intrinsic luminosity measured at 10 days in the rest frame, $L_{\…
Dimensional reduction for sampled priors and application to photometric redshift distributions
Gary Bernstein, William Assignies Doumerg, Michael A. Troxel +35
A typical Bayesian inference on the values of some parameters of interest from some data involves running a Markov Chain (MC) to sample from the posterior $p({\bf q},{\…
OzDES Reverberation Mapping Program: Stacking analysis with H, Mg II and C IV
Umang Malik, Rob Sharp, A. Penton +47
Reverberation mapping is the leading technique used to measure direct black hole masses outside of the local Universe. Additionally, reverberation measurements calibrate secondary…
Main belt asteroids taxonomical information from Dark Energy Survey data
Valerio Carruba, Júlio I. B. Camargo, Safwan Aljbaae +2
While proper orbital elements are currently available for more than 1 million asteroids, taxonomical information is still lagging behind. Surveys like SDSS-MOC4 provided preliminar…
Chemical Analysis of the Brightest Star of the Cetus II Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Candidate
K. B. Webber, T. T. Hansen, J. L. Marshall +42
We present a detailed chemical abundance analysis of the brightest star in the ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy candidate Cetus II from high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectra. For thi…
Optical Variability of Quasars with 20-Year Photometric Light Curves
Zachary Stone, Yue Shen, Colin J. Burke +52
We study the optical photometric variability of a sample of 190 quasars within the SDSS Stripe 82 region that have long-term photometric coverage during with…
SOAR/Goodman Spectroscopic Assessment of Candidate Counterparts of the LIGO-Virgo Event GW190814
Douglas Tucker, Matthew Wiesner, Sahar Allam +140
On 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC, the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) detected a possible neutron star-black hole merger (NSBH), the first ever identified. An extensive search for…
Detection of cross-correlation between gravitational lensing and gamma rays
S. Ammazzalorso, D. Gruen, M. Regis +75
In recent years, many gamma-ray sources have been identified, yet the unresolved component hosts valuable information on the faintest emission. In order to extract it, a cross-corr…
Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two
M. Smith, M. Sullivan, R. C. Nichol +87
We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Ene…
Deep SOAR follow-up photometry of two Milky Way outer-halo companions discovered with Dark Energy Survey
E. Luque, B. Santiago, A. Pieres +48
We report the discovery of a new star cluster, DES 3, in the constellation of Indus, and deeper observations of the previously identified satellite DES J0222.75217 (Eridanus III…
OzDES multifibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: Three year results and first data release
M. J. Childress, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +98
We present results for the first three years of OzDES, a six-year programme to obtain redshifts for objects in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) supernova fields using the 2dF fibre pos…
Extreme variability quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Dark Energy Survey
Nick Rumbaugh, Yue Shen, Eric Morganson +49
We perform a systematic search for long-term extreme variability quasars (EVQs) in the overlapping Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and 3-Year Dark Energy Survey (DES) imaging, whic…
Discovery and Physical Characterization of a Large Scattered Disk Object at 92 AU
David Gerdes, Masao Sako, Stephanie Hamilton +65
We report the observation and physical characterization of the possible dwarf planet \UZ\ ("DeeDee"), a dynamically detached trans-Neptunian object discovered at 92 AU. This object…
The progenitor and early evolution of the Type IIb SN 2016gkg
L. Tartaglia, M. Fraser, D. J. Sand +24
We report initial observations and analysis on the Type IIb SN~2016gkg in the nearby galaxy NGC~613. SN~2016gkg exhibited a clear double-peaked light curve during its early evoluti…
