A DECam Search for an Optical Counterpart to the LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW151226

Philip S. Cowperthwaite, +110 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the results of a DECam optical follow-up of the GW151226, discovered by the Advanced LIGO detectors, starting 10 hours after the event was announced and spanning four epochs at $2-24$ days after the GW detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Imaging and Spectroscopy of the Crab Nebula

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, and 70 micron images of the Crab Nebula obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC and MIPS cameras, Low- and High-resolution Spitzer IRS spectra of selected positions within the nebula, and a near-infrared ground-based image made in the light of [Fe II]1.

Late-time spectroscopy of SN 2002hh: A continued visible light echo with no shock interaction yet

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained deep late-time spectra with the MMT Blue Channel spectrograph to search for any spectral signatures of ongoing shock interaction, but they did not detect clear signs of strong CSM interaction, contrary to expectations based on the reported radii of the dust shell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resolving the H-alpha-emitting Region in the Wind of Eta Carinae

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present diffraction-limited images (FWHM ~ 25 mas) with Magellan adaptive optics in two epochs, showing that Eta Carinae consistently appears 2.5 to 3 mas wider in H-alpha emission compared to the adjacent 643 nm continuum.
