GPS Measurements of Precipitable Water Vapor Can Improve Survey Calibration: A Demonstration from KPNO and the Mayall z-band Legacy Survey
W. M. Wood-Vasey, Daniel Perrefort, Ashley Baker
We here show that dual-band GPS measurements of precipitable water vapor (PWV) at KPNO predict the overall per-image sensitivity of the Mayall z-band Legacy Survey (MzLS). The per-…
A Template-Based Approach to the Photometric Classification of SN 1991bg-like Supernovae in the SDSS-II Supernova Survey
Daniel Perrefort, Yike Zhang, Lluís Galbany +2
The use of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) to measure cosmological parameters has grown significantly over the past two decades. However, there exists a significant diversity in the SN…
The LSST DESC DC2 Simulated Sky Survey
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso +77
We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and…
