The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program: Calibration of the Near-Infrared RR Lyrae Period-Luminosity Relation With HST

Jeffrey A. Rich, Barry F. Madore, Andrew J. Monson +12

We present photometry of 30 Galactic RR Lyrae variables taken with HST WFC3/IR for the Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. These measurements form the base of the distance ladder meas…

The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library

D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230

Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…

The Robustness of Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulation Predictions to Changes in Numerics and Cooling Physics

Shuiyao Huang, Neal Katz, Romeel Davé +8

We test and improve the numerical schemes in our smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code for cosmological simulations, including the pressure-entropy formulation (PESPH), a time…

Can Moons Have Moons?

Juna A. Kollmeier, Sean N. Raymond

Each of the giant planets within the Solar System has large moons but none of these moons have their own moons (which we call ). By analogy with studies of moons ar…

A Significantly off-center Ni56 Distribution for the Low-Luminosity Type Ia Supernova SN 2016brx from the 100IAS survey

Subo Dong, Boaz Katz, Juna A. Kollmeier +17

We present nebular-phase spectra of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2016brx, a member of the 1991bg-like subclass that lies at the faint end of the SN Ia luminosity function. Nebular…

Background-Limited Imaging in the Near-Infrared with Warm InGaAs Sensors: Applications for Time-Domain Astronomy

Robert A. Simcoe, Gabor Furesz, Peter W. Sullivan +6

We describe test observations made with a customized 640 x 512 pixel Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) prototype astronomical camera on the 100" DuPont telescope. This is the first…
