Measurement of telescope transmission using a Collimated Beam Projector
Nicholas Mondrik, Michael Coughlin, Marc Betoule +6
With the increasingly large number of type Ia supernova being detected by current-generation survey telescopes, and even more expected with the upcoming Rubin Observatory Legacy Su…
Initial Assessment of Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cells as Large-Area Sensors for Precise Flux Calibration
Sasha Brownsberger, Nicholas Mondrik, Christopher W. Stubbs
As the precision frontier of large-area survey astrophysics advances towards the one millimagnitude level, flux calibration of astronomical instrumentation remains an ongoing chall…
Local monitoring of atmospheric transparency from the NASA MERRA-2 global assimilation system
A. Guyonnet, S. Dagoret-Campagne, N. Mondrik
Ground-based astronomy has to correct astronomical observations from the impact of the atmospheric transparency and its variability.The current objective of several observatories i…
Testing of the LSST's photometric calibration strategy at the CTIO 0.9 meter telescope
Michael W. Coughlin, Susana Deustua, Augustin Guyonnet +4
The calibration hardware system of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is designed to measure two quantities: a telescope's instrumental response and atmospheric transmissio…
A collimated beam projector for precise telescope calibration
Michael Coughlin, T. M. C. Abbott, Kairn Brannon +7
The precise determination of the instrumental response function versus wavelength is a central ingredient in contemporary photometric calibration strategies. This typically entails…
Assessment of Systematic Chromatic Errors that Impact Sub-1% Photometric Precision in Large-Area Sky Surveys
T. S. Li, D. L. DePoy, J. L. Marshall +69
Meeting the science goals for many current and future ground-based optical large-area sky surveys requires that the calibrated broadband photometry is stable in time and uniform ov…
