Prospects for cool white dwarf science from Pan-STARRS
Nigel Hambly, Nick Rowell, John Tonry +2
We discuss the prospects for new deep, wide-angle surveys of the Galactic cool white dwarf populations using data from Pan-STARRS: the Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response S…
Precision Calibration via Artificial Light Sources Above the Atmophere
Justin E. Albert, Maxwell H. Fagin, Yorke J. Brown +3
Deeper understanding of the properties of dark energy via SNIa surveys, and to a large extent other methods as well, will require unprecedented photometric precision. Laboratory an…
Addressing the Photometric Calibration Challenge: Explicit Determination of the Instrumental Response and Atmospheric Response Functions, and Tying it All Together
Christopher W. Stubbs, John L. Tonry
Photometric calibration is currently the dominant source of systematic uncertainty in exploiting type Ia supernovae to determine the nature of the dark energy. We review our ongoin…
Educating the Next Generation of Leading Scientists: Turning Ideas into Action
Michael Wood-Vasey, Regina Schulte-Ladbeck, William Blair +12
The core of scientific research is turning new ideas into reality. From the school science fair to the search for the secrets of dark energy, high-quality research consists of scie…
Wide-Field Astronomical Surveys in the Next Decade
M. A. Strauss, J. A. Tyson, S. F. Anderson +28
Wide-angle surveys have been an engine for new discoveries throughout the modern history of astronomy, and have been among the most highly cited and scientifically productive obser…
