Robo-AO: An Autonomous Laser Adaptive Optics and Science System
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, A. N. Ramaprakash +15
Robo-AO, a fully autonomous, laser guide star adaptive optics and science system, is being commissioned at Palomar Observatory's 60-inch telescope. Here we discuss the instrument,…
NSV 11749: Symbiotic Nova, Not a Born-Again Red Giant
Howard E. Bond, Mansi M. Kasliwal
NSV 11749 is a little-studied variable star, discovered by W. J. Luyten, which had a long-duration outburst around the year 1903, reaching blue magnitude 12.5 at maximum. Following…
Identifying Elusive Electromagnetic Counterparts to Gravitational Wave Mergers: an end-to-end simulation
Samaya Nissanke, Mansi Kasliwal, Alexandra Georgieva
Combined gravitational-wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) observations of compact binary mergers should enable detailed studies of astrophysical processes in the strong-field gravi…
An Early & Comprehensive Millimeter and Centimeter Wave and X-ray Study of Supernova 2011dh: A Non-Equipartition Blastwave Expanding into A Massive Stellar Wind
Assaf Horesh, Christopher Stockdale, Derek B. Fox +24
Only a handful of supernovae (SNe) have been studied in multi-wavelength from radio to X-rays, starting a few days after explosion. The early detection and classification of the ne…
The UV/optical spectra of the Type Ia supernova SN 2010jn: a bright supernova with outer layers rich in iron-group elements
S. Hachinger, P. A. Mazzali, M. Sullivan +19
Radiative transfer studies of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) hold the promise of constraining both the time-dependent density profile of the SN ejecta and its stratification by elemen…
The Palomar Transient Factory photometric catalog 1.0
E. O. Ofek, R. Laher, J. Surace +22
We construct a photometrically calibrated catalog of non-variable sources from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) observations. The first version of this catalog presented here, t…
