Gone Without a Bang: A Search for Failed Core-Collapse Supernovae in ZTF and Predictions for Rubin and Roman
Shion Murakawa, Paul Draghis, Kevin Burdge +3
The core-collapse of massive stars () usually takes the form of a supernova, but in some cases may lead to a direct collapse, leading to a failed core-collap…
Optimal Photon Counting with Fast, Low Noise Astronomical Imagers
Jack T. Dinsmore, Christopher Layden, Roger W. Romani +9
Measuring rapid astrophysical phenomena requires many short exposures, which suffer from repeated read noise. A variety of recent technologies are achieving sub-electron read noise…
Discovery of the Infrared Counterpart of the Rapid Burster with JWST
Malina M. Desai, Kevin B. Burdge, Cristina Pallanca +8
The Rapid Burster (MXB 1730335) is the only known neutron star to produce both Type I and Type II X-ray bursts, making it a key system for understanding accretion physics onto n…
The Lightspeed project: high-speed, ultra-low read noise imaging and polarimetry for the Magellan telescopes
Christopher Layden, Kevin Burdge, John J. Piotrowski +12
Lightspeed will be an ultra-fast (> kHz), ultra-low read noise, multicolor (ugriz + IR) imager for the 6.5 meter Magellan Clay telescope. In a single-channel configuration, Lightsp…
Stars stably accreting from substellar objects
Aaron Householder, Kaitlyn Shin, Kevin B. Burdge +11
Substellar objects such as brown dwarfs and planets are generally expected to remain detached from their main-sequence host stars unless orbital decay or stellar expansion brings t…
An eclipsing 8.56 minute orbital period mass-transferring binary
Emma T. Chickles, Joheen Chakraborty, Kevin B. Burdge +34
We report the discovery of ATLAS J101342.5-451656.8 (hereafter ATLAS J1013-4516), an 8.56 minute orbital period mass transferring AM Canum Venaticorum binary with mean Gaia magnitu…
proto-Lightspeed: a high-speed, ultra-low read noise imager on the Magellan Clay Telescope
Christopher Layden, Kevin Burdge, Gabor Furesz +9
proto-Lightspeed is a new instrument that has been commissioned on the Nasmyth East port of the Magellan Clay Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory to deliver high-speed optical im…
