Double-offset Cassegrain telescopes for the Ultraviolet Type Ia (UVIa) mission concept
Fernando Cruz Aguirre, Keri Hoadley, Curtis McCully +13
Our understanding of cosmology is shaped by Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), the runaway thermonuclear detonations of white dwarfs via accretion from a companion star. The nature of th…
The Ultraviolet Type Ia Supernova CubeSat (UVIa): Science Motivation & Mission Concept
Keri Hoadley, Curtis McCully, Gillian Kyne +23
The Ultraviolet (UV) Type Ia Supernova Mission (UVIa) is a CubeSat/SmallSat concept that stands to test critical space-borne UV technology for future missions like the Habitable Wo…
Automatic Echelle Spectrograph Wavelength Calibration
G. M. Brandt, T. D. Brandt, C. McCully
Time domain astronomy and the increasing number of exoplanet candidates call for reliable, robust, and automatic wavelength calibration. We present an algorithm for wavelength cali…
Real-time processing of the imaging data from the network of Las Cumbres Observatory Telescopes using BANZAI
Curtis McCully, Nikolaus H. Volgenau, Daniel-Rolf Harbeck +5
Work in time-domain astronomy necessitates robust, automated data processing pipelines that operate in real time. We present the BANZAI pipeline which processes the thousands of sc…
Long-Term Monitoring of Throughput in Las Cumbres Observatory's Fleet of Telescopes
Daniel-Rolf Harbeck, Curtis McCully, Andrew Pickles +3
The Las Cumbres Observatory operates a fleet of robotically controlled telescopes currently two 2m, nine 1m, and ten 0.4m telescopes, distributed amongst six sites covering both he…
