Background-Limited Imaging in the Near-Infrared with Warm InGaAs Sensors: Applications for Time-Domain Astronomy
Robert A. Simcoe, Gabor Furesz, Peter W. Sullivan +6
We describe test observations made with a customized 640 x 512 pixel Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) prototype astronomical camera on the 100" DuPont telescope. This is the first…
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite: Simulations of planet detections and astrophysical false positives
Peter W. Sullivan, Joshua N. Winn, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson +10
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a NASA-sponsored Explorer mission that will perform a wide-field survey for planets that transit bright host stars. Here, we pre…
The identification of z-dropouts in Pan-STARRS1: three quasars at 6.5<z<6.7
B. P. Venemans, E. Bañados, R. Decarli +30
Luminous distant quasars are unique probes of the high redshift intergalactic medium (IGM) and of the growth of massive galaxies and black holes in the early universe. Absorption d…
Near-Infrared InGaAs Detectors for Background-limited Imaging and Photometry
Peter W. Sullivan, Bryce Croll, Robert A. Simcoe
Originally designed for night-vision equipment, InGaAs detectors are beginning to achieve background-limited performance in broadband imaging from the ground. The lower cost of the…
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
George R. Ricker, Joshua N. Winn, Roland Vanderspek +55
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars. TESS has been selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics Ex…
Precision of a Low-Cost InGaAs Detector for Near Infrared Photometry
Peter W. Sullivan, Bryce Croll, Robert A. Simcoe
We have designed, constructed, and tested an InGaAs near-infrared camera to explore whether low-cost detectors can make small (<1 m) telescopes capable of precise (<1 mmag) infrare…
