05/07 CATS Publishes Paper on SN at z=1.3
12/06 CATS images z=0.5 lens system
10/05 CATS images z=1.3 SN, H=24 Vega!
03/05 CATS uses LGS AO to image the Extended Growth Strip and GOODS-N
12/04 CATS obtains first Keck LGS AO science image of intermediate redshift galaxies. The frame contains two x-ray sources in GOODS-S, both of which are experiencing a merger.
02/04 The CATS team observed the COSMOS field with NIRC2. The weather was poor,and the correction was not very good.
11/03 The CATS team observed with the Subaru curviture sensing AO system. Unfortunately the weather was poor and only several observations were obtained of bright guide stars near zenith.
10/03 The CATS team completed our first observing run, 4 half-nights with the NIRC2 AO camera at Keck. We observed the GEMS field a large galaxy-survey field imaged previously with HST and Chandra. Despite the high airmass (>1.5), the AO system preformed great and achieved off-axis (40") strehl of 10% around two 11th magnitude guide stars.
