The Cluster Ages Experiment (CASE). VIII. Age and Distance of the Globular Cluster 47 Tuc from the Analysis of Two Detached Eclipsing Binaries
I. B. Thompson, A. Udalski, A. Dotter +20
We use photometric and spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing binary E32 in the globular cluster 47 Tuc to derive the masses, radii, and luminosities of the component stars. T…
Three new VHS-DES Quasars at 6.7 < z < 6.9 and Emission Line Properties at z > 6.5
S. L. Reed, M. Banerji, G. D. Becker +58
We report the results from a search for z > 6.5 quasars using the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 dataset combined with the VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS) and WISE All-Sky Survey. O…
Observations of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source by the TOROS collaboration
M. C. Díaz, L. M. Macri, D. Garcia Lambas +52
We present the results of prompt optical follow-up of the electromagnetic counterpart of the gravitational-wave event GW170817 by the Transient Optical Robotic Observatory of the S…
Light Curves of the Neutron Star Merger GW170817/SSS17a: Implications for R-Process Nucleosynthesis
M. R. Drout, A. L. Piro, B. J. Shappee +41
On 2017 August 17, gravitational waves were detected from a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, along with a coincident short gamma-ray burst, GRB170817A. An optical transient so…
A Multiband Generalization of the Analysis of Variance Period Estimation Algorithm and the Effect of Inter-band Observing Cadence on Period Recovery Rate
Nicholas Mondrik, James P. Long, Jennifer L. Marshall
We present a new method of extending the single band Analysis of Variance period estimation algorithm to multiple bands. We use SDSS Stripe 82 RR Lyrae to show that in the case of…
DES13S2cmm: The First Superluminous Supernova from the Dark Energy Survey
A. Papadopoulos, C. B. D'Andrea, M. Sullivan +66
We present DES13S2cmm, the first spectroscopically-confirmed superluminous supernova (SLSN) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We briefly discuss the data and search algorithm used…
