Large Synoptic Survey Telescope White Paper; The Case for Matching U-band on Deep Drilling Fields
B. W. Holwerda, A. Baker, S. Blyth +12
U-band observations with the LSST have yet to be fully optimized in cadence. The straw man survey design is a simple coverage of the medium-deep-fast survey. Here we argue that dee…
Precise Near-Infrared Radial Velocities
Peter Plavchan, Peter Gao, Jonathan Gagne +31
We present the results of two 2.3 micron near-infrared radial velocity surveys to detect exoplanets around 36 nearby and young M dwarfs. We use the CSHELL spectrograph (R ~46,000)…
Precision near-infrared radial velocity instrumentation I: Absorption Gas Cells
Peter P. Plavchan, Guillem Anglada-Escude, Russel White +18
We have built and commissioned gas absorption cells for precision spectroscopic radial velocity measurements in the near-infrared in the H and K bands. We describe the construction…
Milliarcsecond N-Band Observations of the Nova RS Ophiuchi: First Science with the Keck Interferometer Nuller
R. K. Barry, W. C. Danchi, W. A. Traub +38
We report observations of the nova RS Ophiuchi (RS Oph) using the Keck Interferometer Nuller (KIN), approximately 3.8 days following the most recent outburst that occurred on 2006…
The dusty AGB star RS CrB: first mid-infrared interferometric observations with the Keck Telescopes
B. Mennesson, C. Koresko, M. J. Creech-Eakman +2
We report interferometric observations of the semi-regular variable star RS CrB, a red giant with strong silicate emission features. The data were among the first long baseline mid…
Rayleigh Laser Guide Star Systems: UnISIS Bow Tie Shutter and CCD39 Wavefront Camera
Laird A. Thompson, Scott W. Teare, Samuel L. Crawford +1
Laser guide star systems based on Rayleigh scattering require some means to deal with the flash of low altitude laser light that follows immediately after each laser pulse. These s…
