Long-term NIR Variability in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey: a new probe of AGN activity at high redshift
E. Elmer, O. Almaini, M. Merrifield +5
We present the first attempt to select AGN using long-term NIR variability. By analysing the K-band light curves of all the galaxies in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey, the deepest NI…
Strategic Scientific Plan for Gemini Observatory

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…
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…
