", "abstract": "We present the latest developments in our joint NASA/CNES suborbital project. This project is a balloon-borne UV multi-object spectrograph, which has been designed to detect faint emission from the circumgalactic medium (CGM) around low redshift galaxies. One major change from FIREBall-1 has been the use of a delta-doped Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD). EMCCDs can be used in photon-counting (PC) mode to achieve extremely low readout noise (\u00a1 1e-). Our testing initially focused on reducing clock-induced-charge (CIC) through wave shaping and well depth optimisation with the CCD Controller for Counting Photons (CCCP) from N\u00fcv\u00fc. This optimisation also includes methods for reducing dark current, via cooling and substrate voltage adjustment. We present result of laboratory noise measurements including dark current. Furthermore, we will briefly present some initial results from our first set of on-sky observations using a delta-doped EMCCD on the 200 inch telescope at Palomar using the Palomar Cosmic Web Imager (PCWI).", "date": "2016-08-05", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)", "place_of_pub": "Bellingham, WA", "pagerange": "Art.

The MOS is fed by a 1 meter diameter parabola with an extended field (1000 arcmin2) using a highly aspherized two mirror corrector. All the optical train is working at F/2.5 to maintain a high signal to noise ratio. The spectrograph (R~ 2200 and 1.5 arcsec FWHM) is based on two identical Schmidt systems acting as collimator and camera sharing a 2400 g/mm aspherized reflective Schmidt grating. This grating is manufactured from active optics methods by double replication technique of a metal deformable matrix whose active clear aperture is built-in to a rigid elliptical contour.

", "abstract": "The Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) is a new facility instrument being developed for the W. M. Keck Observatory and funded for construction by the Telescope System Instrumentation Program (TSIP) of the National Science Foundation (NSF). KCWI is a bench-mounted spectrograph for the Keck II right Nasmyth focal station, providing integral field spectroscopy over a seeing-limited field up to 20\"x33\" in extent. Selectable Volume Phase Holographic (VPH) gratings provide high efficiency and spectral resolution in the range of 1000 to 20000. The dual-beam design of KCWI passed a Preliminary Design Review in summer 2011. The detailed design of the KCWI blue channel (350 to 700 nm) is now nearly complete, with the red channel (530 to 1050 nm) planned for a phased implementation contingent upon additional funding. KCWI builds on the experience of the Caltech team in implementing the Cosmic Web Imager (CWI), in operation since 2009 at Palomar Observatory. KCWI adds considerable flexibility to the CWI design, and will take full advantage of the excellent seeing and dark sky above Mauna Kea with a selectable nod-and-shuffle observing mode. In this paper, models of the expected KCWI sensitivity and background subtraction capability are presented, along with a detailed description of the instrument design.

The experiment has, for the first time ever, measured and categorized the optical night sky brightness at the very blue wavelengths. The experiment consists of a remotely operated 6\" aperture custom designed telescope. The telescope feeds a blue sensitive imager with 4 degree field of view that contains a bank of 3 filters: SDSS g', Bessel U and a custom \"super U\" filter specifically designed to probe the sky emission at wavelengths approaching the atmospheric cut-off. The filters are continually cycled with exposure times ranging from 30 to 300 seconds throughout the winter period. The telescope, in addition, feeds a 2 degree long slit VPH grating spectrograph with R~1000. The bandwidth is 350-450nm. The spectra are recorded simultaneously with the imager exposures. The experiment is designed for low temperature Antarctic operation and resides on the roof of the MAPO building in the South Pole Antarctic sector. The primary science goals are to categorize the Antarctic winter-time sky background at the very bluest of wavelengths as a pathfinder for the Antarctic Cosmic Web Imager. We present a technical overview of the experiment and results from the first winter season.", "date": "2012-09-17", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)", "place_of_pub": "Bellingham, WA", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "The temperatures and densities of the interstellar medium (ISM) in starburst galaxies are greatly elevated compared to those in star forming giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in normal galaxies. I review the observed ISM properties in the prototype starburst Arp 200 and then discuss considerations for star formation in such starburst galaxy nuclei. We have also found a previously unrecognized observational constraint on the low mass star populations applicable to these starbursts. Using stellar population synthesis models from Starburst99 with instantaneous and constant starbursts, we identify and quantify spectral diagnostics for stellar populations. The characteristic age of the stellar population dominating the restframe optical (not the younger stars dominating the UV) can be estimated from the 4000\u00c5 break strength (D4000). We find that the presence of the 4000\u00c5 break requires a stellar population older than ~100 Myr (since OB stars would dominate the continuum short of 4000\u00c5 and they exhibit no break). Very importantly, we also find that the initial mass function (IMF) must extend down to a few solar masses if the 4000\u00c5 break is present. Thus, the detection of the 4000\u00c5 break implies an IMF extending to low mass. The strength of the 4000\u00c5 break can be used to constrain the IMF at low stellar masses, while the absence of the feature could be used to identify PopIII stars (which would have low metallicity and probably few low mass stars). The break is, in fact, observed in Arp 220 and in the z = 2 \u2013 7 galaxy SEDs, casting doubt on recent suggestions of top heavy IMFs for high z galaxies and starbursts. The apparent invariance of the IMF is likely due to the fact that the fragmentation scale for stellar mass condensations occurs at very high density on scales of ~100 AU. At this point, the densities will be ~10^(11) per cc and the initial conditions in the galactic GMCs will have been long forgotten. This 100 AU scale corresponds to the point at which solar mass condensations become optical thick in the far infrared and thus separate quasi-statically from the overall collapse \u2013 it is also the typical scale of binary star separations, lending support to the notion that this is the scale for stellar mass fragmentation within collapsing cloud cores.", "date": "2011", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Astronomical Society of the Pacific", "place_of_pub": "San Francisco, CA", "pagerange": "317-324", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20110621-120200217", "isbn": "978-1-58381-760-5", "book_title": "UP2010: Have Observations Revealed a Variable Upper End of the Initial Mass Function?", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20110621-120200217", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Space-Astrophysics-Laboratory" } ] }, "contributors": { "items": [ { "id": "Treyer-M-A", "name": { "family": "Treyer", "given": "Marie" } }, { "id": "Wyder-T-K", "name": { "family": "Wyder", "given": "Ted K." } }, { "id": "Neill-J-D", "name": { "family": "Neill", "given": "James D." } }, { "id": "Seibert-M", "name": { "family": "Seibert", "given": "Mark" } }, { "id": "Lee-Janice-C", "name": { "family": "Lee", "given": "Janice C." } } ] }, "primary_object": { "basename": "Scoville2011p13940Up2010_Have_Observations_Revealed_A_Variable_Upper_End_Of_The_Initial_Mass_Function.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/e3bxf-v1w40/files/Scoville2011p13940Up2010_Have_Observations_Revealed_A_Variable_Upper_End_Of_The_Initial_Mass_Function.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2011", "author_list": "Scoville, N. and Li, Gongjie" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/0xkm6-12e13", "eprint_id": 24182, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 04:52:15", "lastmod": "2024-01-13 05:17:38", "type": "book_section", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Neill-J-D", "name": { "family": "Neill", "given": "James D." }, "orcid": "0000-0002-0466-1119" } ] }, "title": "Measuring the Upper End of the Initial Mass Function with Supernovae", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2011 Astronomical Society of the Pacific.\n\nGALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) is a NASA Small Explorer,\nlaunched in 2003 April.

", "abstract": "Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn) exhibit luminous ultraviolet continua during outburst and luminous, long-lived narrow ultraviolet and optical emission lines attributed to circumstellar interaction. These properties have enabled successful detections at z ~ 2 in archival imaging and continued investigations from late-time spectroscopy. Because SNe IIn are believed to have massive (\u227350M_\u2609) progenitors, searches in the well-studied Lyman break galaxy (LBG) host population offer the prospect of testing the form of the high-redshift stellar initial mass function (IMF) in a high density star formation environment directly. I briefly discuss our z ~ 2 photometric detection method targeting LBGs in the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) and present data from the first 6 confirmed z ~ 2 SNe IIn pulled from 30 photometric SN candidates. A comparison of the color and magnitude distributions of the SN host galaxies to that of the full LBG sample finds that z ~ 2 SNe preferentially occur in bluer, fainter galaxies. I conclude with a discussion of an approach that uses the CFHTLS pilot sample to provide a first estimate of the form of the high-redshift IMF. Upcoming deep synoptic imaging surveys will greatly improve z ~ 2 SNe IIn statistics from ~10^5 expected detections and future large aperture space- and ground-based telescopes will have the sensitivities to extend this work to z \u2273 6.", "date": "2011", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Astronomical Society of the Pacific", "place_of_pub": "San Francisco, CA", "pagerange": "337-344", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20110622-152037317", "isbn": "978-1-58381-760-5", "book_title": "Up2010: Have Observations Revealed a Variable Upper End of the Initial Mass Function?", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20110622-152037317", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Space-Astrophysics-Laboratory" } ] }, "contributors": { "items": [ { "id": "Treyer-M", "name": { "family": "Treyer", "given": "Marie" } }, { "id": "Wyder-T-K", "name": { "family": "Wyder", "given": "Ted K." } }, { "id": "Neill-J-D", "name": { "family": "Neill", "given": "James D." } }, { "id": "Seibert-M", "name": { "family": "Seibert", "given": "Mark" } }, { "id": "Lee-Janice-C", "name": { "family": "Lee", "given": "Janice C." } } ] }, "primary_object": { "basename": "Cooke2011p13932Up2010_Have_Observations_Revealed_A_Variable_Upper_End_Of_The_Initial_Mass_Function.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/qegm5-1nh61/files/Cooke2011p13932Up2010_Have_Observations_Revealed_A_Variable_Upper_End_Of_The_Initial_Mass_Function.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2011", "author_list": "Cooke, Jeff; Sullivan, Mark; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/v2by3-c7h43", "eprint_id": 22880, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 00:25:31", "lastmod": "2024-01-13 00:11:55", "type": "book_section", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Matuszewski-M", "name": { "family": "Matuszewski", "given": "Mateusz" } }, { "id": "Evrard-J", "name": { "family": "Evrard", "given": "Jean" } }, { "id": "Mirc-F", "name": { "family": "Mirc", "given": "Frederi" } }, { "id": "Grange-R", "name": { "family": "Grange", "given": "Robert" } }, { "id": "Frank-S", "name": { "family": "Frank", "given": "Stephan" } }, { "id": "Milliard-B", "name": { "family": "Milliard", "given": "Bruno" } }, { "id": "Tuttle-S-E", "name": { "family": "Tuttle", "given": "Sarah E." } }, { "id": "Rahman-S", "name": { "family": "Rahman", "given": "Shahinur" } }, { "id": "Martin-D-Christopher", "name": { "family": "Martin", "given": "D.

We are grateful for our opportunity to conduct observations on this mountain. We acknowledge invaluable assistance from the CFHT Queued Service Observations team, led by P. Martin (CFHT). Our research would not be possible without the assistance of the support staff at CFHT, especially l-C. Cuillandre. The real-time pipelines for supernovae detection run on computers integrated in the CFHT computing system, and are very efficiently installed, maintained and monitored by K. Withington (CFHT). We also heavily rely on the real-time Elixir pipeline which is operated and monitored by l-C. Cuillandre, E. Magnier and K. Withington. We are grateful to L. Simard (CADC) for setting up the image delivery system and his kind and efficient responses to our suggestions for improvements.

", "abstract": "We present a progress report on a project to derive the evolution of the volumetric supernova Type Ia rate from the Supernova Legacy Survey. Our preliminary estimate of the rate evolution divides the sample from Neill et al. into two redshift bins: 0.2 < z < 0.4, and 0.4 < z < 0.6. We extend this by adding a bin from the sample analyzed in Sullivan et al. in the range 0.6 < z < 0.75 from the same time period. We compare the derived trend with previously published rates and a supernova Type Ia production model having two components: one component associated closely with star formation and an additional component associated with host galaxy mass. Our observed trend is consistent with this model, which predicts a rising SN Ia rate out to at least z = 2.", "date": "2007-08-21", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "American Institute of Physics", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20100430-103548753", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20100430-103548753", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)" }, { "agency": "Canadian Institute for Advanced Research" }, { "agency": "Institut National de Physique Nucl\u00e9aire et de Physique des Particules (IN2P3)" }, { "agency": "Institut national des sciences de l'Univers (INSU)" }, { "agency": "Programme National Galaxies et Cosmologie (PNCG)" }, { "agency": "Commissariat \u00e0 l'\u00c9nergie Atomique (CEA)" }, { "agency": "Department of Energy (DOE)" }, { "agency": "France-Berkeley Fund" }, { "agency": "Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Space-Astrophysics-Laboratory" } ] }, "doi": "10.1063/1.2774890", "primary_object": { "basename": "NEIaipcp07.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/sbv21-73k87/files/NEIaipcp07.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2007", "author_list": "Neill, James D.; Sullivan, M.; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/s4v8z-def82", "eprint_id": 88311, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 11:04:17", "lastmod": "2024-01-14 20:31:24", "type": "book_section", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Jelinsky-P-N", "name": { "family": "Jelinsky", "given": "Patrick" } }, { "id": "Morrissey-P", "name": { "family": "Morrissey", "given": "Patrick" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-8177-1023" }, { "id": "Malloy-J", "name": { "family": "Malloy", "given": "James" } }, { "id": "Jelinsky-S", "name": { "family": "Jelinsky", "given": "Sharon" } }, { "id": "Siegmund-O-H-W", "name": { "family": "Siegmund", "given": "Oswald" } }, { "id": "Martin-D-Christopher", "name": { "family": "Martin", "given": "Chris" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-8650-1644" }, { "id": "Schiminovich-D", "name": { "family": "Schiminovich", "given": "David" } }, { "id": "Forster-K", "name": { "family": "Forster", "given": "Karl" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-5800-5531" }, { "id": "Wyder-T-K", "name": { "family": "Wyder", "given": "Ted" } }, { "id": "Friedman-P-G", "name": { "family": "Friedman", "given": "Peter" } } ] }, "title": "Performance results of the GALEX cross delay line detectors", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "keywords": "Microchannel plates, ultraviolet detectors, GALEX, sealed tube", "note": "\u00a9 2003 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE). \n\nThe authors would like to thank the GALEX teams at Caltech and JPL.
