ULTRASAT: A wide-field time-domain UV space telescope
Y. Shvartzvald, E. Waxman, A. Gal-Yam +41
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2026. It will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field o…
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…
Forecasting cosmic acceleration measurements using the Lyman- forest
Chenxing Dong, Anthony Gonzalez, Stephen Eikenberry +5
We present results from end-to-end simulations of observations designed to constrain the rate of change in the expansion history of the Universe using the redshift drift of the Lym…
SOFIA-EXES Observations of Betelgeuse during the Great Dimming of 2019/2020
Graham M. Harper, Curtis N. DeWitt, Matthew J. Richter +6
In 2019 October Betelgeuse began a decline in V-band brightness that went beyond the minimum expected from its quasi-periodic ~420 day cycle, becoming the faintest in recorded phot…
Astro2020 Project White Paper: PolyOculus -- Low-cost Spectroscopy for the Community
Stephen S. Eikenberry, Misty Bentz, Anthony Gonzalez +6
As astronomy moves into the era of large-scale time-domain surveys, we are seeing a flood of new transient and variable sources which will reach biblical proportions with the adven…
Astro2020 Project White Paper: The Cosmic Accelerometer
Stephen S. Eikenberry, Anthony Gonzalez, Jeremy Darling +15
We propose an experiment, the Cosmic Accelerometer, designed to yield velocity precision of cm/s with measurement stability over years to decades. The first-phase Cosmic A…
