Measuring Precipitable Water Vapor through Dual-Band GPS at Rubin Observatory
Anja Weyant, W. M. Wood-Vasey, Elana K. Urbach +2
Precipitable water vapor (PWV) in Earth's atmosphere is a known source of systematic error in ground-based astronomical measurements, particularly at wavelengths greater than 7,000…
Are Type Ia Supernovae in Restframe Brighter in More Massive Galaxies?
Kara A. Ponder, W. Michael Wood-Vasey, Anja Weyant +5
We analyze 143 Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) observed in band (1.6-1.8 m) and find SNeIa are intrinsically brighter in -band with increasing host galaxy stellar mass. We fin…
The First Data Release from SweetSpot: 74 Supernovae in 36 Nights on WIYN+WHIRC
Anja Weyant, W. M. Wood-Vasey, Richard Joyce +6
SweetSpot is a three-year National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) Survey program to observe Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the smooth Hubble flow with the WIYN High-resolutio…
SweetSpot: Near-Infrared Observations of Thirteen Type Ia Supernovae from a New NOAO Survey Probing the Nearby Smooth Hubble Flow
Anja Weyant, W. Michael Wood-Vasey, Lori Allen +4
We present 13 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed in the restframe near-infrared (NIR) from 0.02 < z < 0.09 with the WIYN High-resolution Infrared Camera (WHIRC) on the WIYN 3.5-m…
Likelihood-Free Cosmological Inference with Type Ia Supernovae: Approximate Bayesian Computation for a Complete Treatment of Uncertainty
Anja Weyant, Chad Schafer, W. Michael Wood-Vasey
Cosmological inference becomes increasingly difficult when complex data-generating processes cannot be modeled by simple probability distributions. With the ever-increasing size of…
The Pittsburgh Sloan Digital Sky Survey MgII Quasar Absorption-Line Survey Catalog
Anna M. Quider, Daniel B. Nestor, David A. Turnshek +4
We present a catalog of intervening MgII quasar absorption-line systems in the redshift interval 0.36 <= z <= 2.28. The catalog was built from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release…
An Unbiased Method of Modeling the Local Peculiar Velocity Field with Type Ia Supernovae
Anja Weyant, Michael Wood-Vasey, Larry Wasserman +1
We apply statistically rigorous methods of nonparametric risk estimation to the problem of inferring the local peculiar velocity field from nearby supernovae (SNIa). We use two non…
GALEX Discovery of a Damped Ly-alpha System at Redshift z = 1
Eric Monier, David Turnshek, Sandhya Rao +1
We report the first discovery of a QSO damped Ly-alpha (DLA) system by the GALEX satellite. The system was initially identified as an MgII absorption-line system (z_abs=1.028) in t…
