Autor: Narayan, G., Axelrod, T., Holberg, J. B., Matheson, T., Saha, A., Olszewski, E., Claver, J., Stubbs, C. W., Bohlin, R. C., Deustua, S., Rest, A.

We present the initial results from a program aimed at establishing a network of hot DA white dwarfs to serve as spectrophotometric standards for present and future wide-field surveys. These stars span the equatorial zone and are faint enough to be c

Gravitational wave (GW) events detectable by LIGO and Virgo have several possible progenitors, including black hole mergers, neutron star mergers, black hole--neutron star mergers, supernovae, and cosmic string cusps. A subset of GW events are expect
