Mitigating Satellite Trails: a Study of Residual Light after Masking
Imran Hasan, J. Anthony Tyson, Clare Saunders +1
Using Hyper Suprime Camera data (a precursor of what is to come with Rubin Observatory) we assess trail masking mitigation strategies for satellite contamination. We examine HSC da…
The Impact of Tomographic Redshift Bin Width Errors on Cosmological Probes
Imran Hasan, Samuel J. Schmidt, Michael D. Schneider +1
Systematic errors in the galaxy redshift distribution can propagate to systematic errors in the derived cosmology. We characterize how the degenerate effects in tomographic…
Estimating Sky Level
Inchan Ji, Imran Hasan, Samuel J. Schmidt +1
We develop an improved sky background estimator which employs optimal filters for both spatial and pixel intensity distributions. It incorporates growth of masks around detected ob…
The Mass of the Black Hole in the X-ray Binary Nova Muscae 1991
Jianfeng Wu, Jerome A. Orosz, Jeffrey E. McClintock +4
The optical counterpart of the black-hole soft X-ray transient Nova Muscae 1991 has brightened by mag since its return to quiescence 23 years ago. We present the f…
Rapid Variability of Blazar 3C 279 during Flaring States in 2013-2014 with Joint Fermi-LAT, NuSTAR, Swift, and Ground-Based Multi-wavelength Observations
M. Hayashida, K. Nalewajko, G. M. Madejski +49
We report the results of a multi-band observing campaign on the famous blazar 3C 279 conducted during a phase of increased activity from 2013 December to 2014 April, including firs…
Proposed Nomenclature for Surface Features on Pluto and Its Satellites and Names for Newly Discovered Satellites
Eric E. Mamajek, Valerie A. Rapson, David A. Cameron +8
In anticipation of the July 2015 flyby of the Pluto system by NASA's New Horizons mission, we propose naming conventions and example names for surface features on Pluto and its sat…
The SMARTS Multi-epoch Optical Spectroscopy Atlas (SAMOSA): Using Emission Line Variability to Probe the Location of the Blazar Gamma-emitting Region
Jedidah C. Isler, C. M. Urry, C. Bailyn +6
We present multi-epoch optical spectroscopy of seven southern Fermi-monitored blazars from 2008 - 2013 using the Small and Medium Aperture Research Telescope System (SMARTS), with…
Limits on orbit crossing planetesimals in the resonant multiple planet system, KOI-730
Alexander Moore, Imran Hasan, Alice Quillen
A fraction of multiple planet candidate systems discovered from transits by the Kepler mission contain pairs of planet candidates that are in orbital resonance or are spaced slight…
Capture of Irregular Satellites via Binary Planetesimal Exchange Reactions in Migrating Planetary Systems
Alice C. Quillen, Imran Hasan, Alexander Moore
By logging encounters between planetesimals and planets we compute the distribution of encounters in a numerically integrated two planet system that is migrating due to interaction…
