A New RASS Galaxy Cluster Catalog with Low Contamination Extending to in the DES Overlap Region

Matthias Klein, Sebastian Grandis, Joseph Mohr +2

We present the MARD-Y3 catalog of between 1086 and 2171 galaxy clusters (52\% and 65\% new) produced using multi-component matched filter (MCMF) followup in 5000\,deg of DES-Y3…

Light-echoes from the plateau in Eta Carinae's Great Eruption reveal a two-stage shock-powered event

Nathan Smith, Jennifer E. Andrews, Armin Rest +7

We present multi-epoch photometry and spectroscopy of a light echo from eta Carinae's 19th century Great Eruption. This echo shows a steady decline over a decade, sampling the 1850…

Real-time earthquake warning for astronomical observatories

Michael Coughlin, Christopher Stubbs, Sergio Barrientos +4

Early earthquake warning is a rapidly developing capability that has significant ramifications for many fields, including astronomical observatories. In this work, we describe the…

Optical Redshift and Richness Estimates for Galaxy Clusters Selected with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from 2008 South Pole Telescope Observations

F. W. High, B. Stalder, J. Song +68

We present redshifts and optical richness properties of 21 galaxy clusters uniformly selected by their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich signature. These clusters, plus an additional, unconfirmed…

Galaxy Clusters Selected with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from 2008 South Pole Telescope Observations

K. Vanderlinde, T. M. Crawford, T. de Haan +56

We present a detection-significance-limited catalog of 21 Sunyaev-Zel'dovich selected galaxy clusters. These clusters, along with 1 unconfirmed candidate, were identified in 178 de…

The ESSENCE Supernova Survey: Survey Optimization, Observations, and Supernova Photometry

G. Miknaitis, G. Pignata, A. Rest +33

We describe the implementation and optimization of the ESSENCE supernova survey, which we have undertaken to measure the equation of state parameter of the dark energy. We present…
