Precise Measurements of the LMC Bar's Geometry With Gaia DR3 and a Novel Solution to Crowding Induced Incompleteness in Star Counting

Himansh Rathore, Yumi Choi, Knut A. G. Olsen +1

We present new measurements of the two-dimensional (2-D) geometry of the LMC's stellar bar with precise astrometric observations of red clump stars in Gaia DR3. We develop a novel…

SpectAcLE: An Improved Method for Modeling Light Echo Spectra

Roee Partoush, Armin Rest, Jacob E. Jencson +17

Light echoes give us a unique perspective on the nature of supernovae and non-terminal stellar explosions. Spectroscopy of light echoes can reveal details on the kinematics of the…

Evidence for a Supernova Associated with the X-ray Flash 020903

D. Bersier, A. S. Fruchter, L. -G. Strolger +24

We present ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope optical observations of the X-ray flash (XRF) 020903, covering 300 days. The afterglow showed a very rapid rise in the first day,…

The SuperMACHO Microlensing Survey

A. C. Becker, A. Rest, C. Stubbs +18

We present the first results from our next-generation microlensing survey, the SuperMACHO project. We are using the CTIO 4m Blanco telescope and the MOSAIC imager to carry out a se…
