No longer impossible: the self-lensing binary KIC 8145411 is a triple

Natsuko Yamaguchi, Kareem El-Badry, David R. Ciardi +5

Five self-lensing binaries (SLBs) have been discovered with data from the \textit{Kepler} mission. One of these systems is KIC 8145411, which was reported to host an extremely low…

Cryogenic Focus Measurement System for a Wide-Field Infrared Space Telescope

Samuel S. Condon, Stephen Padin, James Bock +4

We describe a technique for measuring focus errors in a cryogenic, wide-field, near-infrared space telescope. The measurements are made with a collimator looking through a large va…

The early Universe was dust-rich and extremely hot

Marco P. Viero, Guochao Sun, Dongwoo T. Chung +2

We investigate the dust properties and star-formation signature of galaxies in the early universe by stacking 111227 objects in the recently released COSMOS catalogue on maps at wa…
