An Optical Spectrum of the Diffuse Galactic Light from BOSS and IRIS
Blake Chellew, Timothy D. Brandt, Brandon S. Hensley +2
We present a spectrum of the diffuse Galactic light (DGL) between 3700 and 10,000 A, obtained by correlating optical sky intensity with far-infrared dust emission. We use nearly 25…
The Hipparcos-Gaia Catalog of Accelerations: Gaia EDR3 Edition
Timothy D. Brandt
We present a cross-calibration of Hipparcos and Gaia EDR3 intended to identify astrometrically accelerating stars and to fit orbits to stars with faint, massive companions. The res…
Characterizing and correcting the proper motion bias of the bright Gaia EDR3 sources
Tristan Cantat-Gaudin, Timothy D. Brandt
In this paper we characterize magnitude-dependent systematics in the proper motions of the Gaia EDR3 catalog and provide a prescription for their removal. The reference frame of br…
Gamma-ray and X-ray emission from the Galactic Centre: hints on the nuclear star cluster formation history
Manuel Arca-Sedda, Bence Kocsis, Timothy Brandt
The Milky Way centre exhibits an intense flux in the gamma and X-ray bands, whose origin is partly ascribed to the possible presence of a large population of millisecond pulsars (M…
Ultraviolet to optical diffuse sky emission as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph
K. Kawara, Y. Matsuoka, K. Sano +5
We present an analysis of the blank sky spectra observed with the Faint Object Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope. We study the diffuse sky emission from ultraviolet…
Constraints on MACHO Dark Matter from Compact Stellar Systems in Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies
Timothy D. Brandt
I show that a recently discovered star cluster near the center of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Eridanus II provides strong constraints on massive compact halo objects (MACHOs) of >…
Is the Escape Velocity in Star Clusters Linked to Extended Star Formation Histories? Using NGC 7252: W3 as a Test Case
I. Cabrera-Ziri, N. Bastian, M. Hilker +9
The colour-magnitude diagrams of some intermediate-age clusters (1-2 Gyr) star clusters show unexpectedly broad main-sequence turnoffs, raising the possibility that these clusters…
Indications of M-dwarf Deficits in the Halo and Thick Disk of the Galaxy
Mihoko Konishi, Hiroshi Shibai, Takahiro Sumi +55
We compared the number of faint stars detected in deep survey fields with the current stellar distribution model of the Galaxy and found that the detected number in the H band is s…
The Spectrum of the Diffuse Galactic Light I: The Milky Way in Scattered Light
Timothy D. Brandt, Bruce T. Draine
We measure the optical spectrum of the Diffuse Galactic Light (DGL) -- the local Milky Way in reflection -- using 92,000 blank-sky spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).…
The Ages of Type Ia Supernova Progenitors
Timothy D. Brandt, Rita Tojeiro, Éric Aubourg +3
Using light curves and host galaxy spectra of 101 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with redshift from the SDSS Supernova Survey (SDSS-SN), we derive the SN Ia rate as a…
