slicersim: A python package to simulate image slicer spectroscopic observations -- application to the Lazuli Spectrograph
M. Rigault, Y. Copin, G. Aldering +8
Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) is a key technique to study galaxies, stellar and planetary systems, and transients, by spatially splitting the scene and dispersing this light on…
The Lazuli Space Observatory: Opportunities for time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy
T. Wevers, T. J. Maccarone, A. Palmese +14
Advancing time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy requires a multi-wavelength network of observatories capable of rapidly discovering, classifying, and characterizing transient p…
Testing CDM versus dynamical dark energy in one year: A DESI spectroscopic follow-up program for Rubin supernovae
Jannik Truong, Greg Aldering, Saul Perlmutter +2
Combined cosmological probes currently indicate that best-fit values in the parametrization of dynamical dark energy deviate from CDM by . In this work, we p…
