The shell around VY Canis Majoris in SPHEREx is likely an artifact
Viraj Karambelkar, Yashvi Sharma, Kishalay De
Recently, the presence of a large shell around the bright hypergiant star VY Canis Majoris was reported in images from the SPHEREx mission. We report similar shells around other br…
A data processing pipeline for the WINTER near-infrared surveyor using the framework
Viraj Karambelkar, Robert Stein, Danielle Frostig +18
We present the data reduction and transient detection pipeline for the Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) surveyor and report its on-sky performance. The WINTER camera…
Dynamical binary interactions in the 2040s
Nadejda Blagorodnova, Ondřej Pejcha, Tomek Kamiński +15
Dynamical binary interactions such as common envelope (CE) evolution or stellar mergers are a critical phase in the formation of a wide variety of binary phenomena, ranging from bl…
The WINTER Observatory: A One-Degree InGaAs Survey Camera to study the Transient Infrared Sky
Danielle Frostig, Nathan Lourie, Viraj Karambelkar +20
The Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a near-infrared time-domain survey instrument operating on a dedicated 1-meter robotic telescope at Palomar Observatory. The…
