Measuring Type Ia Supernova Angular-Diameter Distances with Intensity Interferometry
A. G. Kim, P. E. Nugent, Xingzhuo Chen +2
This paper investigates the potential of intensity interferometry, based on the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect, for measuring supernova sizes and distances. Through optimized telescope…
The La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey
Adam A. Miller, Natasha S. Abrams, Greg Aldering +75
We present the La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey (LS4), a new wide-field, time-domain survey to be conducted with the 1 m ESO Schmidt telescope. The 268 megapixel LS4 camera mosaics…
First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae From the Dark Energy Survey: Photometric Pipeline and Light Curve Data Release
D. Brout, M. Sako, D. Scolnic +89
We present griz light curves of 251 Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first 3 years of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program's (DES-SN) spectroscopically classified sample. T…
Real-Time Recovery Efficiencies and Performance of the Palomar Transient Factory's Transient Discovery Pipeline
C. Frohmaier, M. Sullivan, P. E. Nugent +2
We present the transient source detection efficiencies of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF), parameterizing the number of transients that PTF found, versus the number of similar…
iPTF Search for an Optical Counterpart to Gravitational Wave Trigger GW150914
M. M. Kasliwal, S. B. Cenko, L. P. Singer +28
The intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) autonomously responded to and promptly tiled the error region of the first gravitational wave event GW150914 to search for an opti…
The BigBOSS Experiment
D. Schlegel, F. Abdalla, T. Abraham +138
BigBOSS is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment to study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure with a wide-area galaxy and quasar redshift survey…
