The Dynamic Infrared Sky

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Rob Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Mansi M. Kasliwal, Scott Adams, Igor Andreoni, Michael Ashley, Nadia Blagorodnova | Summary: Opening up the dynamic infrared sky for systematic time-domain exploration would yield many scientific advances. Multi-messenger pursuits such as localizing gravitational waves from neutron star mergers and quantifying the nucleosynthetic yields require the infrared. […]

The galaxy luminosity function in the LAMOST Complete Spectroscopic Survey of Pointing Area at the Southern Galactic Cap

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Xuebing Wu | Summary:We present optical luminosity functions (LFs) of galaxies in the $^0.1g$, $^0.1r$, and $^0.1i$ bands, calculated using data in $sim 40$ $deg^2$ sky area of LAMOST Complete Spectroscopic Survey of Pointing Area (LaCoSSPAr) in Southern Galactic Cap. Redshifts for galaxies brighter $r = 18.1$ were obtained mainly with LAMOST. In […]
