Measuring Type Ia Supernova Angular-Diameter Distances with Intensity Interferometry
A. G. Kim, P. E. Nugent, Xingzhuo Chen +2
This paper investigates the potential of intensity interferometry, based on the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect, for measuring supernova sizes and distances. Through optimized telescope…
Multidisciplinary Science in the Multimessenger Era
Eric Burns, Christopher L. Fryer, Ivan Agullo +82
Astrophysical observations of the cosmos allow us to probe extreme physics and answer foundational questions on our universe. Modern astronomy is increasingly operating under a hol…
The La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey
Adam A. Miller, Natasha S. Abrams, Greg Aldering +75
We present the La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey (LS4), a new wide-field, time-domain survey to be conducted with the 1 m ESO Schmidt telescope. The 268 megapixel LS4 camera mosaics…
Deep drilling in the time domain with DECam II: characterizing the light curves of candidates in the extragalactic fields
Melissa L. Graham, Midori Rollins, Robert A. Knop +6
In this second paper on the DECam deep drilling field (DDF) program we release 2,020 optical gri-band light curves for transients and variables in the extragalactic COSMOS and ELAI…
