The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. II. UV, Optical, and Near-IR Light Curves and Comparison to Kilonova Models
P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger, V. A. Villar +141
We present UV, optical, and NIR photometry of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source from Advanced LIGO/Virgo, the binary neutron star merger GW170817…
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. I. Dark Energy Camera Discovery of the Optical Counterpart
M. Soares-Santos, D. E. Holz, J. Annis +142
We present the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) discovery of the optical counterpart of the first binary neutron star merger detected through gravitational wave emission, GW170817. Our o…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cross-Correlation Redshifts in the DES -- Calibration of the Weak Lensing Source Redshift Distributions
C. Davis, M. Gatti, P. Vielzeuf +81
We present the calibration of the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) weak lensing source galaxy redshift distributions from clustering measurements. By cross-correlating the positi…
Chemical Abundance Analysis of Three -Poor, Metal-Poor Stars in the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Horologium I
D. Q. Nagasawa, J. L. Marshall, J. D. Simon +68
We present chemical abundance measurements of three stars in the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Horologium I, a Milky Way satellite discovered by the Dark Energy Survey. Using high resol…
Measurement of the mass difference
The BaBar Collaboration
We measure the mass difference, , between the and the using the decay chain with . The data were recorded w…
Is Flat Fielding Safe for Precision CCD Astronomy?
Michael Baumer, Christopher P. Davis, Aaron Roodman
The ambitious goals of precision cosmology with wide-field optical surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) demand, as their foun…
Cosmic Visions Dark Energy: Technology
Scott Dodelson, Katrin Heitmann, Chris Hirata +5
A strong instrumentation and detector R&D program has enabled the current generation of cosmic frontier surveys. A small investment in R&D will continue to pay dividends and enable…
Cosmic Visions Dark Energy: Science
Scott Dodelson, Katrin Heitmann, Chris Hirata +5
Cosmic surveys provide crucial information about high energy physics including strong evidence for dark energy, dark matter, and inflation. Ongoing and upcoming surveys will start…
A Dark Energy Camera Search for Missing Supergiants in the LMC After the Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
J. Annis, M. Soares-Santos, E. Berger +104
The collapse of the core of a star is expected to produce gravitational radiation. While this process will usually produce a luminous supernova, the optical signatue could be sublu…
A Dark Energy Camera Search for an Optical Counterpart to the First Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
M. Soares-Santos, R. Kessler, E. Berger +112
We report initial results of a deep search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW150914, the first trigger from the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detector…
Intrinsic Pixel Size Variation in an LSST Prototype Sensor
Michael Baumer, Aaron Roodman
The ambitious science goals of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) have motivated a search for new and unexpected sources of systematic error in the LSST camera. Flat-field…
Search for Long-Lived Particles in Collisions
J. P. Lees, others
We present a search for a neutral, long-lived particle that is produced in collisions and decays at a significant distance from the interaction point into var…
