findAbar: how astronomers may perceive the bar in galaxies differently
Elizabeth J. Iles, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Courtney Crawford +18
Bars are ubiquitous morphological features in the observed distribution of galaxies. There are similarly many methods for classifying these features and, without a strict theoretic…
GPI 2.0: Exploring The Impact of Different Readout Modes on the Wavefront Sensor's EMCCD
Clarissa R. Do Ó, Saavidra Perera, Jérôme Maire +26
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a high contrast imaging instrument that aims to detect and characterize extrasolar planets. GPI is being upgraded to GPI 2.0, with several subsyst…
rrlfe: Software for Generating and Applying Metallicity Calibrations for RR Lyrae Variable Stars Across a Wide Range of Phases and Temperatures
Eckhart Spalding, Ronald Wilhelm, Nathan De Lee +7
RR Lyrae stars play a central role in tracing phase-space structures within the Milky Way because they are easy to identify, are relatively luminous, and are found in large numbers…
A New RR Lyrae Metallicity Calibration
E. Spalding, R. Wilhelm, N. De Lee
We have begun developing a new metallicity calibration for RR Lyrae stars that includes high-temperature phase regions. Our calibration is an updated and expanded version of the De…
