Tracing Milky Way substructure with an RR Lyrae hierarchical clustering forest
Brian T. Cook, Deborah F. Woods, Jessica D. Ruprecht +6
RR Lyrae variable stars have long been reliable standard candles used to discern structure in the Local Group. With this in mind, we present a routine to identify groupings contain…
Combined Emerging Capabilities for Near-Earth Objects (NEOs)
S. N. Milam, H. B. Hammel, J. Bauer +10
Assess the joint capabilities of emerging telescopes for near-Earth objects (NEOs) survey and characterization, and what they will add to the current capabilities or replace. NASA…
Binospec: A Wide-field Imaging Spectrograph for the MMT
Daniel Fabricant, Robert Fata, Harland Epps +14
Binospec is a high throughput, 370 to 1000 nm, imaging spectrograph that addresses two adjacent 8' by 15' fields of view. Binospec was commissioned in late 2017 at the f/5 focus of…
Expected Yields of Planet discoveries from the TESS primary and extended missions
Chelsea X. Huang, Avi Shporer, Diana Dragomir +8
We present a prediction of the transiting exoplanet yield of the TESS primary mission, in order to guide follow-up observations and science projects utilizing TESS discoveries. Our…
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite: Simulations of planet detections and astrophysical false positives
Peter W. Sullivan, Joshua N. Winn, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson +10
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a NASA-sponsored Explorer mission that will perform a wide-field survey for planets that transit bright host stars. Here, we pre…
Triggered Star Formation in Galaxy Pairs at z=0.08-0.38
Deborah Freedman Woods, Margaret J. Geller, Michael J. Kurtz +3
We measure the strength, frequency, and timescale of tidally triggered star formation at redshift z=0.08-0.38 in a spectroscopically complete sample of galaxy pairs drawn from the…
