Characterizing and Improving the Data Reduction Pipeline for the Keck OSIRIS Integral Field Spectrograph
Kelly E. Lockhart, Tuan Do, James E. Larkin +15
OSIRIS is a near-infrared (1.0--2.4 m) integral field spectrograph operating behind the adaptive optics system at Keck Observatory, and is one of the first lenslet-based integra…
Modelling Jets, Tori and Flares in Pulsar Wind Nebulae
Oliver Porth, Rolf Buehler, Barbara Olmi +5
In this contribution we review the recent progress in the modeling of Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWN). We start with a brief overview of the relevant physical processes in the magnetosph…
A computationally efficient autoregressive method for generating phase screens with frozen flow and turbulence in optical simulations
Sriakr Srinath, Lisa A. Poyneer, Alexander R. Rudy +1
We present a sample-based, autoregressive (AR) method for the generation and time evolution of atmospheric phase screens that is computationally efficient and uses a single paramet…
Discovery and spectroscopy of the young Jovian planet 51 Eri b with the Gemini Planet Imager
B. Macintosh, J. R. Graham, T. Barman +85
Directly detecting thermal emission from young extrasolar planets allows measurement of their atmospheric composition and luminosity, which is influenced by their formation mechani…
Characterization of the Inner Knot of the Crab: The Site of the Gamma-ray Flares?
A. Rudy, D. Horns, A. DeLuca +18
One of the most intriguing results from the gamma-ray instruments in orbit has been the detection of powerful flares from the Crab Nebula. These flares challenge our understanding…
A laboratory demonstration of an LQG technique for correcting frozen flow turbulence in adaptive optics systems
Alexander Rudy, Lisa Poyneer, Srikar Srinath +2
We present the laboratory verification of a method for re- moving the effects of frozen-flow atmospheric turbulence using a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller, also known a…
KAPAO: a MEMS-based natural guide star adaptive optics system
Scott A. Severson, Philip I. Choi, Daniel S. Contreras +10
We describe KAPAO, our project to develop and deploy a low-cost, remote-access, natural guide star adaptive optics (AO) system for the Pomona College Table Mountain Observatory (TM…
The Robo-AO software: Fully autonomous operation of a laser guide star adaptive optics and science system
Reed L. Riddle, Mahesh P. Burse, Nicholas M. Law +8
Robo-AO is the first astronomical laser guide star adaptive optics (AO) system designed to operate completely independent of human supervision. A single computer commands the AO sy…
The SED Machine: A Spectrograph to Efficiently Classify Transient Events Discovered by PTF
Chow-Choong Ngeow, Nick Konidaris, Robert Quimby +4
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a project aimed to discover transients in the Universe, including Type Ia supernovae, core-collapse supernovae, and other exotic and rare tra…
Ground-based multisite observations of two transits of HD 80606b
A. Shporer, J. N. Winn, S. Dreizler +41
We present ground-based optical observations of the September 2009 and January 2010 transits of HD 80606b. Based on 3 partial light curves of the September 2009 event, we derive a…
