Simultaneous Constraints on the Star Formation History and Nucleosynthesis of Sculptor dSph

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Mithi A. C. de los Reyes, Evan N. Kirby, Alexander P. Ji, Evan H. Nuñez, | Summary: We demonstrate that using up to seven stellar abundance ratios can place observational constraints on the star formation histories (SFHs) of Local Group dSphs, using the Sculptor dSph as […]

An Infrared Search for Kilonovae with the WINTER Telescope. I. Binary Neutron Star Mergers

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan P. Lourie | Summary:The Wide-Field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a new 1 $textdeg^2$ seeing-limited time-domain survey instrument designed for dedicated near-infrared follow-up of kilonovae from binary neutron star (BNS) and neutron star-black hole mergers. WINTER will observe in the near-infrared Y, J, and short-H bands (0.9-1.7 microns, to $textJ_AB=21$ magnitudes) on […]
