Detecting Strongly-Lensed Supernovae in Wide-field Space Telescope Imaging via Deep Learning
Fawad Kirmani, Arjun Karki, Steve Rodney +4
Gravitationally lensed supernovae (SNe) are extremely rare and fade quickly; as a result, they are challenging to detect. To identify lensed SNe in large imaging datasets, current…
A targeted search for strongly lensed supernovae with the Las Cumbres Observatory
Peter Craig, Kyle O'Connor, Sukanya Chakrabarti +4
Gravitationally lensed supernovae (glSNe) are of interest for time delay cosmology and SN physics. However, glSNe detections are rare, owing to the intrinsic rarity of SN explosion…
Probing the Time Domain with High Spatial Resolution
J. P. Blakeslee, S. A. Rodney, J. M. Lotz +17
Two groundbreaking new facilities will commence operations early in the 2020s and thereafter define much of the broad landscape of US optical-infrared astronomy in the remaining de…
Turning Gravitationally Lensed Supernovae into Cosmological Probes
Justin R. Pierel, Steven A. Rodney
Recently, there have been two landmark discoveries of gravitationally lensed supernovae: the first multiply-imaged SN, "Refsdal", and the first Type Ia SN resolved into multiple im…
Extending Supernova Spectral Templates for Next-Generation Space Telescope Observations
J. D. R. Pierel, S. Rodney, A. Avelino +13
Empirical models of supernova (SN) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are widely used for SN survey simulations and photometric classifications. The existing library of SED model…
On the observability of individual Population III stars and their stellar-mass black hole accretion disks through cluster caustic transits
Rogier A. Windhorst, F. X. Timmes, J. Stuart B. Wyithe +8
We summarize panchromatic Extragalactic Background Light data to place upper limits on the integrated near-infrared surface brightness (SB) that may come from Population III stars…
Extreme magnification of a star at redshift 1.5 by a galaxy-cluster lens
Patrick L. Kelly, Jose M. Diego, Steven Rodney +42
Galaxy-cluster gravitational lenses can magnify background galaxies by a total factor of up to ~50. Here we report an image of an individual star at redshift z=1.49 (dubbed "MACS J…
Simulations of the WFIRST Supernova Survey and Forecasts of Cosmological Constraints
R. Hounsell, D. Scolnic, R. J. Foley +14
The Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST) was the highest ranked large space-based mission of the 2010 New Worlds, New Horizons decadal survey. It is now a NASA mission in…
