Strategic Scientific Plan for Gemini Observatory
J. P. Blakeslee, A. Adamson, C. Davis +30
We present the Strategic Scientific Plan (SSP) for the direction and activities of the Gemini Observatory in the 2020s. The overarching goal is to ensure that Gemini best uses the…
Entering into the Wide Field Adaptive Optics Era on Maunakea
Gaetano Sivo, John Blakeslee, Jennifer Lotz +32
As part of the National Science Foundation funded "Gemini in the Era of MultiMessenger Astronomy" (GEMMA) program, Gemini Observatory is developing GNAO, a widefield adaptive optic…
Extreme Infrared Variables from UKIDSS - I. A Concentration in Star Forming Regions
C. Contreras Peña, P. W. Lucas, D. Froebrich +7
We present initial results of the first panoramic search for high-amplitude near-infrared variability in the Galactic Plane. We analyse the widely separated two-epoch K-band photom…

R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, D. Minniti +107
The ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for…
A luminous quasar at a redshift of z = 7.085
Daniel J. Mortlock, Stephen J. Warren, Bram P. Venemans +14
The intergalactic medium was not completely reionized until approximately a billion years after the Big Bang, as revealed by observations of quasars with redshifts of less than 6.5…
