Multi-sensor fusion for fine-guidance and milliarcsecond-level attitude estimation of balloon-borne telescope
Philippe Voyer, Maya Amit, Steven J. Benton +44
Balloon-borne telescopes rely on fine-guidance systems to achieve milliarcsecond image stability despite residual disturbances from the balloon environment. In these systems, the F…
Intracluster Light as a Probe for Dark Matter: Exploring SIDM and CDM with C-EAGLE Sims
Jaewon Yoo, Ellen L. Sirks, Cristiano G. Sabiu +5
We assess whether intracluster light (ICL) can serve as an observational discriminator of dark matter physics. The self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) model has gained increasing a…
Lensing in the Blue III: Weak Lensing Shape Catalogs of 30 Merging Galaxy Clusters
Sayan Saha, Jacqueline E. McCleary, Spencer W. Everett +38
We present the weak gravitational lensing dataset from the Super-pressure Balloon-Borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT), which imaged 30 galaxy clusters during its 45 night flight in…
findAbar: how astronomers may perceive the bar in galaxies differently
Elizabeth J. Iles, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Courtney Crawford +18
Bars are ubiquitous morphological features in the observed distribution of galaxies. There are similarly many methods for classifying these features and, without a strict theoretic…
Populating Large N-body Simulations with LRGs Using Neural Networks
M. Icaza-Lizaola, E. L. Sirks, Yong-Seon Song +2
The analysis of state-of-the-art cosmological surveys like the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey requires high-resolution, large-volume simulations. However, the c…
