AstroQ: Automated Scheduling of Cadenced Astronomical Observations
Jack Lubin, Erik A. Petigura, Velibor V. Mišić +2
Astronomy relies heavily on time domain observations. To maximize the scientific yield of such observations, astronomers must carefully match the observational cadence to the pheno…
Automated Scheduling of Doppler Exoplanet Observations at Keck Observatory
Luke B. Handley, Erik A. Petigura, Velibor V. Misic +2
Precise Doppler studies of extrasolar planets require fine-grained control of observational cadence, i.e. the timing of and spacing between observations. We present a novel framewo…
Solving the Traveling Telescope Problem with Mixed Integer Linear Programming
Luke B. Handley, Erik A. Petigura, Velibor V. Misic
The size and complexity of modern astronomical surveys has grown to the point where, in many cases, traditional human scheduling of observations are tedious at best and impractical…
Report on Community Cadence Observing to Maximize the Scientific Output of the Keck Planet Finder
Erik Petigura, Andrew Howard, Jacob Bean +11
The arrival of the Keck Planet Finder (KPF) in 2022 represents a major advance in the precision radial velocity (PRV) capabilities of the W. M. Keck Observatory. In preparation for…
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) Mission Concept Study Final Report
B. Scott Gaudi, Sara Seager, Bertrand Mennesson +183
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory, or HabEx, has been designed to be the Great Observatory of the 2030s. For the first time in human history, technologies have matured sufficient…
RadVel: The Radial Velocity Modeling Toolkit
Benjamin J. Fulton, Erik A. Petigura, Sarah Blunt +1
RadVel is an open source Python package for modeling Keplerian orbits in radial velocity (RV) time series. RadVel provides a convenient framework to fit RVs using maximum a posteri…
