How stellar rotation shapes the colour-magnitude diagram of the massive intermediate-age star cluster NGC 1846

Carmela Lardo

We present a detailed study of stellar rotation in the massive 1.5 Gyr old cluster NGC 1846 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Similar to other clusters at this age, NGC 1846 shows an extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO), and previous photometric studies ha ...

A microphotonic astrocomb

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Miles Henry Anderson, Tobias Herr, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann, Stefan Kundermann

Earth-like planets, dark energy and variability of fundamental physical constants can be discovered by observing wavelength shifts in the optical spectra of astronomical objects(1-5). These wavelength shifts are so tiny that exquisitely accurate and precis ...

The SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: final emission line galaxy target selection

Yi Wang, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Arjun Dey, Claudio Gorgoni

We describe the algorithm used to select the emission line galaxy (ELG) sample at z similar to 0.85 for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV, using photometric data from the DECam Legacy Survey. Our select ...

The Time-Domain Spectroscopic Survey: Understanding The Optically Variable Sky With Sequels In Sdss-Iii

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

The Time-Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS) is an SDSS-IV eBOSS subproject primarily aimed at obtaining identification spectra of similar to 220,000 optically variable objects systematically selected from SDSS/Pan-STARRS1 multi-epoch imaging. We present a ...

The Sdss-Iv Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Luminous Red Galaxy Target Selection

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

We describe the algorithm used to select the luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV) using photometric data from both the SDSS and the Wide-field Infrare ...

Multi-band morpho-Spectral Component Analysis Deblending Tool (MuSCADeT): Deblending colourful objects

Frédéric Courbin, Rémy Elie Joseph

We introduce a new algorithm for colour separation and deblending of multi-band astronomical images called MuSCADeT which is based on Morpho-spectral Component Analysis of multi-band images. The MuSCADeT algorithm takes advantage of the sparsity of astrono ...

The two-dimensional array of 2048 tilting micromirrors for astronomical spectroscopy

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Michael David Canonica

In multi-object spectrometers, field selectors, which are located in the focal plane of the telescopes, are required for the selection of astronomical objects, such as stars or faint galaxies. We present a two-dimensional micromirror array as a field selec ...

Large Micromirror Array Based on a Scalable Technology for Astronomical Instrumentation

Michael David Canonica

Understanding the formation of galaxies and studying the expansion of the Universe, need the spectral characterization of faint astronomical objects such as stars or galaxies. From these spectra, the distance, the velocity and the chemical composition of t ...
