The Western Australian Optical Ground Station
Shane Walsh, Alex Frost, William Anderson +8
Free-space communications at optical wavelengths offers the potential for orders-of-magnitude improvement in data rates over conventional radio wavelengths, and this will be needed…
Detection capabilities of the Athena X-IFU for the warm-hot intergalactic medium using gamma-ray burst X-ray afterglows
S. Walsh, S. McBreen, A. Martin-Carrillo +5
At low redshifts, the observed baryonic density falls far short of the total number of baryons predicted. Cosmological simulations suggest that these baryons reside in filamentary…
Image Flux Ratios of Gravitationally Lensed HS 0810+2554 with High Resolution Infrared Imaging
Terry Jay Jones, Liliya L. R. Williams, Steve Ertel +4
We report near simultaneous imaging using LMIRCam on the LBTI of the quadruply imaged lensed quasar HS 0810+2554 at wavelengths of 2.16, 3.7 and m with a Full Width Half Ma…
The Optical and Near-Infrared Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Earth GJ1214b: Further Evidence for a Metal-Rich Atmosphere
Jacob L. Bean, Jean-Michel Désert, Petr Kabath +7
We present an investigation of the transmission spectrum of the 6.5 M_earth planet GJ1214b based on new ground-based observations of transits of the planet in the optical and near-…
Segue 3: An Old, Extremely Low luminosity Star Cluster in the Milky Way's Halo
Ross Fadely, Beth Willman, Marla Geha +6
We investigate the kinematic and photometric properties of the Segue 3 Milky Way companion using Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy and Magellan/IMACS g and r-band imaging. Using maximum lik…
Bootes II ReBooted: An MMT/MegaCam Study of An Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellite
S. M. Walsh, B. Willman, D. Sand +4
[abridged] We present MMT/Megacam imaging in Sloan and of the extremely low luminosity Boötes II Milky Way companion. We use a bootstrap approach to perform robust measurem…
