Direct Detection of SDSS J0926+3624 Orbital Expansion with ARCONS
P. Szypryt, G. E. Duggan, B. A. Mazin +10
AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) stars belong to a class of ultra-compact, short period binaries with spectra dominated largely by helium. SDSS J0926+3624 is of particular interest as…
Excess Optical Enhancement Observed with ARCONS for Early Crab Giant Pulses
M. J. Strader, M. D. Johnson, B. A. Mazin +11
We observe an extraordinary link in the Crab pulsar between the enhancement of an optical pulse and the timing of the corresponding giant radio pulse. At optical through infrared w…
Giga-z: A 100,000 Object Superconducting Spectrophotometer for LSST Follow-up
Danica Marsden, Benjamin A. Mazin, Kieran O'Brien +1
We simulate the performance of a new type of instrument, a Superconducting Multi-Object Spectrograph (SuperMOS), that uses Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs). MKIDs, a…
ARCONS: A 2024 Pixel Optical through Near-IR Cryogenic Imaging Spectrophotometer
B. A. Mazin, S. R. Meeker, M. J. Strader +9
We present the design, construction, and commissioning results of ARCONS, the Array Camera for Optical to Near-IR Spectrophotometry. ARCONS is the first ground-based instrument in…
X-ray photon detection using superconducting resonators in thermal quasi-equilibrium
Orlando Quaranta, Thomas Cecil, Lisa Gades +2
Superconducting resonators have to date been used for photon detection in a non-equilibrium manner. In this paper, we demonstrate that such devices can also be used in a thermal qu…
