New Technologies for Discovery
Z. Ahmed, A. Apresyan, M. Artuso +80
For the field of high energy physics to continue to have a bright future, priority within the field must be given to investments in the development of both evolutionary and transfo…
COSMOGRAIL XVIII: time delays of the quadruply lensed quasar WFI2033-4723
V. Bonvin, M. Millon, J. H. H. Chan +26
We present new measurements of the time delays of WFI2033-4723. The data sets used in this work include 14 years of data taken at the 1.2m Leonhard Euler Swiss telescope, 13 years…
pwv_kpno: A Python Package for Modeling the Atmospheric Transmission Function due to Precipitable Water Vapor
Daniel Perrefort, W. M. Wood-Vasey, K. Azalee Bostroem +3
We present a Python package, pwv_kpno, that provides models for the atmospheric transmission due to precipitable water vapor (PWV) at user specified sites. Using the package, groun…
COSMOGRAIL XVII: Time delays for the quadruply imaged quasar PG 1115+080
V. Bonvin, J. H. H. Chan, M. Millon +24
We present time-delay estimates for the quadruply imaged quasar PG 1115+080. Our resuls are based on almost daily observations for seven months at the ESO MPIA 2.2m telescope at La…
High fidelity point-spread function retrieval in the presence of electrostatic, hysteretic pixel response
Andrew Rasmussen, Augustin Guyonnet, Craig Lage +11
We employ electrostatic conversion drift calculations to match CCD pixel signal covariances observed in flat field exposures acquired using candidate sensor devices for the LSST Ca…
The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +250
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planne…
LSST optical beam simulator
J. A. Tyson, J. Sasian, K. Gilmore +6
We describe a camera beam simulator for the LSST which is capable of illuminating a 60mm field at f/1.2 with realistic astronomical scenes, enabling studies of CCD astrometric and…
A framework for modeling the detailed optical response of thick, multiple segment, large format sensors for precision astronomy applications
Andrew Rasmussen, Pierre Antilogus, Pierre Astier +11
Near-future astronomical survey experiments, such as LSST, possess system requirements of unprecedented fidelity that span photometry, astrometry and shape transfer. Some of these…
Effect of Measurement Errors on Predicted Cosmological Constraints from Shear Peak Statistics with LSST
D. Bard, J. M. Kratochvil, C. Chang +26
The statistics of peak counts in reconstructed shear maps contain information beyond the power spectrum, and can improve cosmological constraints from measurements of the power spe…

Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +220
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions initiated by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). ASTRO-H will…
Atmospheric PSF Interpolation for Weak Lensing in Short Exposure Imaging Data
C. Chang, P. J. Marshall, J. G. Jernigan +25
A main science goal for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is to measure the cosmic shear signal from weak lensing to extreme accuracy. One difficulty, however, is that wit…
Spurious Shear in Weak Lensing with LSST
C. Chang, S. M. Kahn, J. G. Jernigan +25
The complete 10-year survey from the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will image 20,000 square degrees of sky in six filter bands every few nights, bringing the final…
