The Spectroscopic Classification of Astronomical Transients (SCAT) Survey: Overview, Pipeline Description, Initial Results, and Future Plans
M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, M. E. Huber +19
We present the Spectroscopic Classification of Astronomical Transients (SCAT) survey, which is dedicated to spectrophotometric observations of transient objects such as supernovae…
Towards optimization of pulsed sodium laser guide stars
Rachel Rampy, Donald Gavel, Simon M. Rochester +1
Pulsed sodium laser guide stars (LGS) are useful because they allow for Rayleigh blanking and fratricide avoidance in multiple-LGS systems. Bloch-equation simulations of sodium-lig…
Production of Phase Screens for Simulation of Atmospheric Turbulence
Rachel Rampy, Don Gavel, Daren Dillon +1
The ability to simulate atmospheric turbulence in the lab is a crucial part of testing and developing astronomical adaptive optics technology. We report on the development of a tec…
IGR J17544-2619 in depth with Suzaku: direct evidence for clumpy winds in a supergiant fast X-ray transient
Rachel A. Rampy, David M. Smith, Ignacio Negueruela
We present the first direct evidence for dense clumps of matter in the companion wind in a Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT) binary. This is seen as a brief period of enhanced…
