iPTF Discovery of the Rapid "Turn On" of a Luminous Quasar
S. Gezari, T. Hung, S. B. Cenko +13
We present a radio-quiet quasar at z=0.237 discovered "turning on" by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF). The transient, iPTF 16bco, was detected by iPTF in the nucl…
How to Find Gravitationally Lensed Type Ia Supernovae
Daniel A. Goldstein, Peter E. Nugent
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that are multiply imaged by gravitational lensing can extend the SN Ia Hubble diagram to very high redshifts , probe potential SN Ia evolu…
The DESI Experiment Part II: Instrument Design
DESI Collaboration, Amir Aghamousa, Jessica Aguilar +290
DESI (Dark Energy Spectropic Instrument) is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations and the growth of structure through redshift…
The DESI Experiment Part I: Science,Targeting, and Survey Design
DESI Collaboration, Amir Aghamousa, Jessica Aguilar +290
DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure through…
Discovery and Follow-up Observations of the Young Type Ia Supernova 2016coj
WeiKang Zheng, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jon Mauerhan +39
The Type~Ia supernova (SN~Ia) 2016coj in NGC 4125 (redshift ) was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search 4.9 days after the fitted first-light time (FFLT;…
Searching for Planet Nine with Coadded WISE and NEOWISE-Reactivation Images
Aaron M. Meisner, Benjamin C. Bromley, Peter E. Nugent +4
A distant, as yet unseen ninth planet has been invoked to explain various observations of the outer solar system. While such a 'Planet Nine', if it exists, is most likely to be dis…
