Exploring the Optical Transient Sky with the Palomar Transient Factory (2009)

Rau, Arne, Kulkarni, Shrinivas R., Law, Nicholas M., Bloom, Joshua S., Ciardi, David, Djorgovski, George S., ...

The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a wide-field experiment designed to investigate the optical transient and variable sky on time scales from minutes to years. PTF uses the CFH12k mosaic camera,...

Taking the Measure of the Universe : precision astrometry with SIM PlanetQuest (2008)

Unwin, Stephen C., Shao, Michael, Tanner, Angelle M., Allen, Ronald J., Beichman, Charles A., Boboltz, David, ...

Precision astrometry at microarcsecond accuracy has application to a wide range of astrophysical problems. This paper is a study of the science questions that can be addressed using an instrument...

10 New Very Low Mass Close Binaries Resolved in the Visible (2005)

Law, Nicholas M., Hodgkin, Simon T., Mackay, Craig D., Baldwin, John E.

We present preliminary results from the first part of the LuckyCam late M-dwarf binarity survey. We survey a sample of 48 nearby ($

Lucky Imaging: High Angular Resolution Imaging in the Visible from the Ground (2005)

Law, Nicholas M., Mackay, Craig D., Baldwin, John E.

We use a Lucky Imaging system to obtain I-band images with much improved angular resolution on a ground-based 2.5m telescope. We present results from a 10-night assessment campaign on the 2.56m...
