Kavli Affiliate: Rafe Schindler | First 5 Authors: Pierandrea Guarnieri, Claudia Maraston, Daniel Thomas, Janine Pforr, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez | Summary: Using stellar population models, we predicted that the Dark Energy Survey (DES) – due to its special combination of area (5000 deg. sq.) and depth ($i = 24.3$) – would be in the position to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Drlica Wagner | First 5 Authors: Martin Banda-Huarca, Julio Camargo, Josselin Desmars, Ricardo Ogando, Roberto Vieira-Martins | Summary: Transneptunian objects (TNOs) are a source of invaluable information to access the history and evolution of the outer solar system.

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | First 5 Authors: Luke Weisenbach, Paul Schechter, Joachim Wambsganss, , | Summary: Studies of the inner regions of micro-lensed AGN during caustic crossing events have often relied upon the approximation that the magnification near a fold caustic is inversely proportional to the square root of the source-caustic distance. We examine […]
