Diameters and Temperatures VII: High-angular resolution measurements of Solar-type stars with the CHARA Array
Tabetha S. Boyajian, Ashley A. Elliott, Emelly D. Tiburcio +8
We present interferometric measurements of angular diameters for 27 nearby solar-type stars obtained with the Precision Astronomical Visible Observations (PAVO) beam combiner at th…
LUnar-based Survey for Time-domain Exploration and Research network (LUSTER-net)
T. S. Boyajian, R. A. Street, B. Fleming +7
LUSTER-net is a lunar-surface UVOIR observatory network mission concept for time-domain astrophysics. The concept envisions a scalable array of approximately 6-12 commonly designed…
An Updated SynthPop Model for Microlensing Simulations I: Model Description & Evaluation
Macy J. Huston, Alison L. Crisp, Marz Newman +21
The optimization and interpretation of microlensing surveys depends on having an accurate model of the Milky Way. However, existing population synthesis Galactic modeling tools oft…
Astronomical Optical Interferometry from the Lunar Surface
Gerard van Belle, Tabetha Boyajian, Michelle Creech-Eakman +28
The lunar surface is a compelling location for large, distributed optical facilities, with significant advantages over orbital facilities for high spatial resolution astrophysics.…
