The OpenUniverse2024 simulation suite is a cross-collaboration effort to produce matched simulated imaging for multiple surveys as they would observe common sky. Both the data and associated tools used it are intended uniquely enable wide range of studies maximize science potential next generation cosmological surveys. We have produced approximately 70 deg$^2$ Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey Space Time (LSST) Wide-Fast-Deep survey Nancy Grace Roman Telescope High-Latitude Wide-Area...
We present the photometry of 16 91T/99aa-like Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) observed by Las Cumbres Observatory. also use an additional set 21 SNe and 87 normal from literature for analysis standardizability luminosity SNe. find that are 0.2 mag brighter than Ia, even when fully corrected light curve shapes colors. The weighted root-mean-square (with $z_{CMB}>0.01$) Hubble residuals is $0.25\pm0.03$ mag, suggesting excellent relative distance indicators to $\pm$12%. compare with...
We apply the color-magnitude intercept calibration method (CMAGIC) to Nearby Supernova Factory SNe Ia spectrophotometric dataset. The currently existing CMAGIC parameters are slope and of a straight line fit first linear region in diagram, which occurs over span approximately 30 days after maximum brightness. define new parameter, $\omega_{XY}$, size ``bump'' feature near brightness for arbitrary filters $X$ $Y$. find significant correlation between region, $\beta_{XY, 1}$, diagram...
This paper presents a new optical imaging survey of four deep drilling fields (DDFs), two Galactic and extragalactic, with the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on 4 meter Blanco telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO). During first year observations in 2021, $>$4000 images covering 21 square degrees (7 DECam pointings), $\sim$40 epochs (nights) per field 5 to 6 night filter $g$, $r$, $i$, and/or $z$, have become publicly available (the proprietary period for this program is...
Establishing improved spectrophotometric standards is important for a broad range of missions and relevant to many astrophysical problems. ACCESS, "Absolute Color Calibration Experiment Standard Stars", series rocket-borne sub-orbital ground-based experiments designed enable improvements in the precision flux scale through transfer absolute laboratory detector from National Institute Standards Technology (NIST) network stellar with calibration accuracy 1% spectral resolving power 500 across...
We report on an expanded catalog of total reflectance measurements various common (and uncommon) materials used in the construction and/or baffling optical systems. Total is measured over a broad wavelength range (250 nm < λ <2500 nm) that applicable to ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared instrumentation.
