Felipe Menanteau

About

Felipe Menanteau is a Research Associate Professor in Astronomy and the Assistant Director of Data Stewardship and Computing at the Prairie Research Institute. He is also an affiliate of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois. His work bridges observational cosmology, large-scale survey science, and advanced research computing. Menanteau has extensive experience in developing data management and stewardship solutions for complex scientific collaborations, including leadership roles in the NSF-funded Dark Energy Survey Data Management project. His current research efforts focus on building high-performance data pipelines and scalable infrastructure for the South Pole Telescope (SPT-3G) and CMB-S4 projects. Additionally, he is involved in planning a next-generation astrophysics compute facility at the University of Illinois to support data-intensive research across astronomy and the physical sciences. Menanteau earned his Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge in 2000 and holds a Licenciatura en Física from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, awarded in 1996.

• Multi-messenger Observations of a Binary Neutron Star Merger

  2017 · 1398 citations

  On 2017 August 17 a binary neutron star coalescence candidate (later designated GW170817) with merger time 12:41:04 UTC was observed through gravitational waves by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor independently detected a gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) with a time delay of ~1.7 s with respect to the merger time. From the gravitational-wave signal, the source was initially localized to a sky region of 31 deg² at a luminosity distance of 40₋₈⁺⁸ Mpc a…

• The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR4 maps and cosmological parameters

  Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics · 2020 · 601 citations

  <p>We present new arcminute-resolution maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background temperature and polarization anisotropy from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, using data taken from 2013–2016 at 98 and 150 GHz. The maps cover more than 17,000 deg<sup>2</sup>, the deepest 600 deg<sup>2</sup> with noise levels below 10μK-arcmin. We use the power spectrum derived from almost 6,000 deg<sup>2</sup> of these maps to con…

• Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmology from cosmic shear and robustness to data calibration

  Physical review. D/Physical review. D. · 2022 · 416 citations

  This work, together with its companion paper, Secco, Samuroff et al. [Phys. Rev. D 105, 023515 (2022)], present the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 cosmic-shear measurements and cosmological constraints based on an analysis of over 100 million source galaxies. With the data spanning $4143\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{deg}}^{2}$ on the sky, divided into four redshift bins, we produce a measurement with a signal-to-noise of 40. We conduct a blind analysis in the context of the Lambda-Cold Dark Matter ($\math…

• Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmology from cosmic shear and robustness to modeling uncertainty

  Physical review. D/Physical review. D. · 2022 · 370 citations

  This work and its companion paper, Amon et al. [Phys. Rev. D 105, 023514 (2022)], present cosmic shear measurements and cosmological constraints from over 100 million source galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 data. We constrain the lensing amplitude parameter ${S}_{8}\ensuremath{\equiv}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{8}\sqrt{{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathrm{m}}/0.3}$ at the 3% level in $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}\mathrm{CDM}$: ${S}_{8}=0.75{9}_{\ensuremath{-}0.023}^{+0.025}$ (68% C…
