Roman CCS White Paper: Characterizing the Galactic population of isolated black holes
Casey Y. Lam, Natasha Abrams, Jeff Andrews +34
Although there are estimated to be 100 million isolated black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way, only one has been found so far, resulting in significant uncertainty about their propert…
The Galactic Center with Roman
Sean K. Terry, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +31
We advocate for a Galactic center (GC) field to be added to the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). The new field would yield high-cadence photometric and astrometric measur…
Smartphone screens as astrometric calibrators
Aidan Walk, Charles-Antoine Claveau, Michael Bottom +4
Geometric optical distortion is a significant contributor to the astrometric error budget in large telescopes using adaptive optics. To increase astrometric precision, optical dist…
AIROPA II: Modeling Instrumental Aberrations for Off-Axis Point Spread Functions in Adaptive Optics
Anna Ciurlo, Paolo Turri, Gunther Witzel +12
Images obtained with single-conjugate adaptive optics (AO) show spatial variation of the point spread function (PSF) due to both atmospheric anisoplanatism and instrumental aberrat…
AIROPA IV: Validating Point Spread Function Reconstruction on Various Science Cases
Sean K. Terry, Jessica R. Lu, Paolo Turri +7
We present an analysis of six independent on-sky datasets taken with the Keck-II/NIRC2 instrument. Using the off-axis point spread function (PSF) reconstruction software AIROPA, we…
AIROPA III: Testing Simulated and On-Sky Data
Paolo Turri, Jessica R. Lu, Gunther Witzel +6
Adaptive optics images from the W. M. Keck Observatory have delivered numerous influential scientific results, including detection of multi-system asteroids, the supermassive black…
