Lensing Systematics from Space: Modeling PSF effects in the SNAP survey
H. F. Stabenau, B. Jain, G. Bernstein +1
Anisotropy in the point spread function (PSF) contributes a systematic error to weak lensing measurements. In this study we use a ray tracer that incorporates all the optical eleme…
Supernova / Acceleration Probe: A Satellite Experiment to Study the Nature of the Dark Energy
SNAP Collaboration, G. Aldering, W. Althouse +109
The Supernova / Acceleration Probe (SNAP) is a proposed space-based experiment designed to study the dark energy and alternative explanations of the acceleration of the Universe's…
The EUV Emission in the Coma Cluster of Galaxies and the Underlying Source of this Radiation
Stuart Bowyer, Eric J. Korpela, Michael Lampton +1
Observations with the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) have shown the Coma Cluster to be a source of EUV emission in excess of that produced by X-ray gas in the cluster. We have…
Wide-Field Surveys from the SNAP Mission
A. Kim
The Supernova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP) is a proposed space-borne observatory that will survey the sky with a wide-field optical/near-infrared (NIR) imager. The images produced by…
SNAP Near Infrared Detectors
G. Tarle
The SuperNova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP) will measure precisely the cosmological expansion history over both the acceleration and deceleration epochs and thereby constrain the natur…
SNAP Focal Plane
M. Lampton, C. J. Bebek
The proposed SuperNova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP) mission will have a two-meter class telescope delivering diffraction-limited images to an instrumented 0.7 square-degree field sens…
Far Ultraviolet Spectra of B Stars near the Ecliptic
C. Morales, V. Orozco, J. F. Gomez +7
Spectra of B stars in the wavelength range of 911-1100 A have been obtained with the EURD spectrograph onboard the Spanish satellite MINISAT-01 with ~5 A spectral resolution. IUE s…
Reanalyses of Voyager Ultraviolet Spectrometer Limits to the EUV and FUV Diffuse Astronomical Flux
Jerry Edelstein, Stuart Bowyer, Michael Lampton
We re-examine {\em Voyager} Ultraviolet Spectrograph data used to establish upper limits to the 500-900 Åand 900-1100 Åcosmic diffuse background. The measurement of diffuse…
Evidence Against the Sciama Model of Radiative Decay of Massive Neutrinos
Stuart Bowyer, Eric J. Korpela, Jerry Edelstein +5
We report on spectral observations of the night sky in the band around 900 angstroms where the emission line in the Sciama model of radiatively decaying massive neutrinos would be…
FAUST observations of UV sources toward the Virgo cluster
N. Brosch, L. Formiggini, E. Almoznino +3
We analyze three UV images covering a 100 square degree field toward the Virgo cluster,obtained by the FAUST space experiment. We detect 191 sources to a signal-to-noise ratio of 4…
