  • Hubble Constant, 𝐼0

– Current rate of expansion – SH0ES

  • Supernova data
  • 𝐼0 > 70

𝑙𝑛 𝑁𝑞𝑑 ∙ 𝑡

– Planck

  • CMB data
  • 𝐼0 < 70

𝑙𝑛 𝑁𝑞𝑑 ∙ 𝑡

– DESGW

  • Gravitational Waves

The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. I. Discovery

  • f the Optical Counterpart Using the

Dark Energy Camera

  • Dark Energy Camera (DECam)

– 62 CCDs – Views in several bands

  • i, g, z, Y, r

– Located at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory

  • Mounted on Victor M. Blanco Telescope

  • Fermilab will discontinue support for SL6

– SL7 to replace SL6 – Later CentOS 8 will replace SL7

  • Not SL8
  • Testing image processing pipeline on SL7

– Data from most recent binary neutron star merger

Operating System Transferability

Revolving Door

02.08.2019 Nora F. Sherman | SIST Final Presentation 8

  • Load and offload templates based on

visibility from DECam – Accommodate preexisting visibility restrictions of the telescope – Determine visibility throughout

  • bservations
  • Entire night, weeks in advance
  • Consideration of sunrise and

sunset times at telescope

  • Store existing templates in localized

area

  • Further considerations

– Add log of templates per band – Improve visible range calculations – Implement air mass cuts
