LSST Observing Strategy White Paper: LSST Observations of WFIRST Deep Fields

R. J. Foley, A. M. Koekemoer, D. N. Spergel +38

The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is expected to launch in the mid-2020s. With its wide-field near-infrared (NIR) camera, it will survey the sky to unprecedented de…

SNEMO: Improved Empirical Models for Type Ia Supernovae

C. Saunders, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +39

Type Ia supernova cosmology depends on the ability to fit and standardize observations of supernova magnitudes with an empirical model. We present here a series of new models of Ty…

Carnegie Supernova Project-II: Extending the Near-Infrared Hubble Diagram for Type Ia Supernovae to

M. M. Phillips, Carlos Contreras, E. Y. Hsiao +41

The Carnegie Supernova Project-II (CSP-II) was an NSF-funded, four-year program to obtain optical and near-infrared observations of a "Cosmology" sample of Type Ia supern…

Carnegie Supernova Project-II: The Near-infrared Spectroscopy Program

E. Y. Hsiao, M. M. Phillips, G. H. Marion +42

Shifting the focus of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology to the near-infrared (NIR) is a promising way to significantly reduce the systematic errors, as the strategy minimizes our…

The Massive and Distant Clusters of WISE Survey. I: Survey Overview and a Catalog of >2000 Galaxy Clusters at z~1

Anthony H. Gonzalez, Daniel P. Gettings, Mark Brodwin +23

We present the Massive and Distant Clusters of WISE Survey (MaDCoWS), a search for galaxy clusters at 0.7<z<1.5 based upon data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)…

Strong Dependence of Type Ia Supernova Standardization on the Local Specific Star Formation Rate

M. Rigault, V. Brinnel, G. Aldering +40

As part of an on-going effort to identify, understand and correct for astrophysics biases in the standardization of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) for cosmology, we have statistically c…
