A 3D View of Orion: I. Barnard's Loop
Michael M. Foley, Alyssa Goodman, Catherine Zucker +11
Barnard's Loop is a famous arc of H emission located in the Orion star-forming region. Here, we provide evidence of a possible formation mechanism for Barnard's Loop and compare…
First Detections of Exop(lan)ets: Observations and Follow-Ups of the Floofiest Transits on Zoom
Sabina Sagynbayeva, Briley L. Lewis, Graham M. Doskoch +16
With the proliferation of online Zoom meetings as a means of doing science in the 2020s, astronomers have made new and unexpected Target of Opportunity (ToO) observations. Chief am…
Star formation near the Sun is driven by expansion of the Local Bubble
Catherine Zucker, Alyssa A. Goodman, João Alves +8
For decades we have known that the Sun lies within the Local Bubble, a cavity of low-density, high-temperature plasma surrounded by a shell of cold, neutral gas and dust. However,…
On the Three-Dimensional Structure of Local Molecular Clouds
Catherine Zucker, Alyssa Goodman, João Alves +9
We leverage the 1 pc spatial resolution of the Leike et al. 2020 3D dust map to characterize the three-dimensional structure of nearby molecular clouds ( pc). We st…
The Per-Tau Shell: A Giant Star-Forming Spherical Shell Revealed by 3D Dust Observations
Shmuel Bialy, Catherine Zucker, Alyssa Goodman +6
A major question in the field of star formation is how molecular clouds form out of the diffuse Interstellar Medium (ISM). Recent advances in 3D dust mapping are revolutionizing ou…
Evidence for Radial Expansion at the Core of the Orion Complex with Gaia EDR3
Cameren Swiggum, Elena D'Onghia, João Alves +6
We present a phase-space study of two stellar groups located at the core of the Orion complex: Briceño-1 and Orion Belt Population-near (OBP-near). We identify the groups with the…
The Foundation Supernova Survey: Measuring Cosmological Parameters with Supernovae from a Single Telescope
D. O. Jones, D. M. Scolnic, R. J. Foley +27
Measurements of the dark energy equation-of-state parameter, , have been limited by uncertainty in the selection effects and photometric calibration of Type Ia supernova…
Should Type Ia Supernova Distances be Corrected for their Local Environments?
D. O. Jones, A. G. Riess, D. M. Scolnic +13
Recent analyses suggest that distance residuals measured from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are correlated with local host galaxy properties within a few kpc of the SN explosion. How…
The Foundation Supernova Survey: Motivation, Design, Implementation, and First Data Release
Ryan J. Foley, Daniel Scolnic, Armin Rest +25
The Foundation Supernova Survey aims to provide a large, high-fidelity, homogeneous, and precisely-calibrated low-redshift Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample for cosmology. The calib…
The Complete Light-curve Sample of Spectroscopically Confirmed Type Ia Supernovae from Pan-STARRS1 and Cosmological Constraints from The Combined Pantheon Sample
D. M. Scolnic, D. O. Jones, A. Rest +37
We present optical light curves, redshifts, and classifications for 365 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Medium Deep Surv…
Revised Uncertainties in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Michael Foley, Nishanth Sasankan, Motohiko Kusakabe +1
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) explores the first few minutes of nuclei formation after the Big Bang. We present updates that result in new constraints at the 2σ level for the abun…
On-sky single-mode fiber coupling measurements at the Large Binocular Telescope
Andrew Bechter, Jonathan Crass, Ryan Ketterer +12
The demonstration of efficient single-mode fiber (SMF) coupling is a key requirement for the development of a compact, ultra-precise radial velocity (RV) spectrograph. iLocater is…
Search for Cosmic Strings in the COSMOS Survey
J. L. Christiansen, E. Albin, T. Fletcher +4
We search the COSMOS survey for pairs of galaxies consistent with the gravitational lensing signature of a cosmic string. The COSMOS survey imaged 1.64 square degrees using the Adv…
