Euclid: Identification of asteroid streaks in simulated images using deep learning

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

The material composition of asteroids is an essential piece of knowledge in the quest to understand the formation and evolution of the Solar System. Visual to near-infrared spectra or multiband photometry is required to constrain the material composition o ...

To grow old and peculiar: Survey of anomalous variable stars in M80 with age determinations using K2 and Gaia

Henryka Ewa Netzel

The globular cluster Messier 80 was monitored by the Kepler space telescope for 80 days during the K2 mission. Continuous, high-precision photometry of such an old, compact cluster allows us for studies of its variable star population in unprecedented deta ...

Euclid preparation V. Predicted yield of redshift 7 < z < 9 quasars from the wide survey

Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

We provide predictions of the yield of 7 < z < 9 quasars from the Euclid wide survey, updating the calculation presented in the Euclid Red Book in several ways. We account for revisions to the Euclid near-infrared filter wavelengths; we adopt steeper rates ...

LSST: From Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

David Atienza Alonso, Darong Huang, Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Shahram Khazaei, Anja Annemone Becker, Shikhar Tuli, Michelle Miller, Guillaume Blanc, Abhijit Saha, Wei Cui

We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). The LSST design is driven by four main science themes: probing dark energy and dark matter, taking an inventory of the solar system, ex ...

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

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Yue Shen

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 ...

Planck 2013 results. XIII. Galactic CO emission

Julien Lesgourgues, Xin Chen, Fabio Finelli

Rotational transition lines of CO play a major role in molecular radio astronomy as a mass tracer and in particular in the study of star formation and Galactic structure. Although a wealth of data exists for the Galactic plane and some well-known molecular ...

Zooming into the broad line region of the gravitationally lensed quasar QSO 2237+0305 equivalent to the Einstein Cross III. Determination of the size and structure of the C-IV and C-III] emitting regions using microlensing

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod, Rudiger Schmidt

Aims. We aim to use microlensing taking place in the lensed quasar QSO 2237+0305 to study the structure of the broad line region (BLR) and measure the size of the region emitting the C-IV and C-III] lines. ...

A sharp look at the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J0806+2006 with laser guide star adaptive optics at the VLT

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

We present the first VLT near-IR observations of a gravitationally lensed quasar, using adaptive optics and laser guide star. These observations can be considered as a test bench for future systematic observations of lensed quasars with adaptive optics, ev ...

Deep optical spectroscopy of extended Ly alpha emission around three radio-quiet z=4.5 quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Pierre North, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

We report the first results of a spectroscopic search for Ly alpha envelopes around three z similar to 4.5 radio-quiet quasars. Our observational strategy adopts the FORS2 spectrograph mounted to the UT1 of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in the multi-slit ...
