How Many Kilonovae Can Be Found in Past, Present, and Future Survey Datasets?

D. Scolnic, R. Kessler, D. Brout +83

The discovery of a kilonova (KN) associated with the Advanced LIGO (aLIGO)/Virgo event GW170817 opens up new avenues of multi-messenger astrophysics. Here, using realistic simulati…

Astrometric calibration and performance of the Dark Energy Camera

G. M. Bernstein, R. Armstrong, A. A. Plazas +53

We characterize the ability of the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) to perform relative astrometry across its 500~Mpix, 3 deg^2 science field of view, and across 4 years of operation. Th…
