Fifteen years of millimeter accuracy lunar laser ranging with APOLLO: dataset characterization
James B. R. Battat, Eric Adelberger, Nicholas R. Colmenares +7
We present data from the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) covering the 15-year span from April 2006 through the end of 2020. APOLLO measures the eart…
Initial Fabrication and Characterization of Chemically-Etched Silicon Slits for KOSMOS
Debby Tran, Sarah Tuttle, Kal Kadlec +5
KOSMOS is a low-resolution, long-slit, optical spectrograph that has been upgraded at the University of Washington for its move from Kitt Peak National Observatory's Mayall 4m tele…
Deep optical observations contemporaneous with emission from the periodic FRB 180916.J0158+65
Charles D. Kilpatrick, Joseph N. Burchett, David O. Jones +6
We present deep Apache Point Observatory optical observations within seconds of the outburst of the periodic fast radio burst (FRB) 180916.J0158+65 obtained on 3 September 2020. FR…
The Remarkable Be+sdOB Binary HD 55606 I: Orbital and Stellar Parameters
S. Drew Chojnowski, Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Thomas Rivinius +20
Prompted by peculiar spectroscopic variability observed in SDSS/APOGEE -band spectra, we monitored the Be star HD 55606 using optical spectroscopy and found that it is an exotic…
Towards Space-like Photometric Precision from the Ground with Beam-Shaping Diffusers
Gudmundur Stefansson, Suvrath Mahadevan, Leslie Hebb +21
We demonstrate a path to hitherto unachievable differential photometric precisions from the ground, both in the optical and near-infrared (NIR), using custom-fabricated beam-shapin…
A Study of the Unusual Z Cam Systems IW Andromedae and V513 Cassiopeia
Paula Szkody, Meagan Albright, Albert P. Linnell +7
The Z Cam stars IW And and V513 Cas are unusual in having outbursts following their standstills in contrast to the usual Z Cam behavior of quiescence following standstills. In orde…
