LSQ13fn: A type II-Plateau supernova with a possibly low metallicity progenitor that breaks the standardised candle relation
J. Polshaw, R. Kotak, L. Dessart +20
We present optical imaging and spectroscopy of supernova (SN) LSQ13fn, a type II supernova with several hitherto-unseen properties. Although it initially showed strong symmetric sp…
The Peculiar Photometric Properties of 2010 WG9: A Slowly-Rotating Trans-Neptunian Object from the Oort Cloud
David Rabinowitz, Megan E. Schwamb, Elena Hadjiyska +2
We present long-term BVRI observations of 2010 WG9, an ~100-km diameter trans-Neptunian object (TNO) with an extremely high inclination of 70 deg discovered by the La Silla - QUEST…
The La Silla - QUEST Kuiper Belt Survey
David Rabinowitz, Megan E. Schwamb, Elena Hadjiyska +1
We describe the instrumentation and detection software and characterize the detection efficiency of an automated, all-sky, southern-hemisphere search for Kuiper Belt objects bright…
Discovery and Characterization of an Extremely Deep-Eclipsing Cataclysmic Variable: LSQ172554.8-643839
David Rabinowitz, Suzanne Tourtellotte, Patricio Rojo +5
We report the discovery of an eclipsing cataclysmic variable with eclipse depths > 5.7 mag, orbital period 94.657 min, and peak brightness V~18 at J2000 position 17h 25m 54s.8, -64…
Properties of the Distant Kuiper Belt: Results from the Palomar Distant Solar System Survey
Megan E. Schwamb, Michael E. Brown, David L. Rabinowitz +1
We present the results of a wide-field survey using the 1.2-m Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory. This survey was designed to find the most distant members of the Kuipe…
A Search for Distant Solar System Bodies in the Region of Sedna
Megan E. Schwamb, Michael E. Brown, David L. Rabinowitz
We present the results of a wide-field survey for distant Sedna-like bodies in the outer solar system using the 1.2-m Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory. We searched ~1…
