Reassessing the Relationship Between Meteor Radio Afterglows and Optical Persistent Trains

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Meteor radio afterglows (MRAs) and optical persistent trains (PTs) are two types of long‐lived phenomena which are occasionally observed following the occurrence of a meteor. Both phenomena are thought to be produced by intrinsic emission mechanisms; PTs have been associated with chemiluminescent reactions between meteoric metals and ...

Constraining the size, shape, and albedo of the large trans-Neptunian object (28978) Ixion with multi-chord stellar occultations

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most primitive remnants of the early Solar System. Determining their sizes, shapes, albedos, and surface properties is essential for understanding their origin and evolution.

Speckle Observations With PISCO in Calern (France): II. Astrometric Measurements of Visual Double Stars in 2017–2018 and New or Revised Orbits for A1913 AB, A1710, COU1394, BU1185, A122, A570, HU577, COU812, HU332, A2095 AB, and A884

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 6, July 2025.
ABSTRACT We present relative astrometric measurements of visual double stars, made in 2017–2018 with the speckle camera PISCO at the 1‐m Epsilon telescope of the C2PU facility (Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, Calern site). Our observing list contains orbital couples as well as double stars whose motion is still uncertain.

Measuring Titan’s rapid orbital expansion combining Cassini radio science normal points and astrometry

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Recent analyses of Titan’s orbital migration have yielded conflicting results regarding Saturn’s tidal dissipation (Q) at Titan’s frequency. While some studies reported a low Q consistent with resonance locking using independent radio science and ...

Uncertainties in Ground‐Based Visual Double Star Measures—II Accuracy of Measures

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 6, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Letchford and White 2025, Paper I, determined the uncertainties in ground‐based historic measures of double stars. In this paper, the accuracy of 26,205 ground‐based measures of 857 visual double stars, made since ∼$$ \sim $$1780, is determined relative to space‐based measures based on positions and proper motion from the HIPPARCOS (via ASCC ...

Deep Space Network Radio Science and Ground‐Based Planetary Radar in the Next Decade

Radio Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The Deep Space Network (DSN) has been a core operational element of NASA's crewed and robotic exploration of the Solar System since the early 1960s. The primary role of the DSN has been to acquire telemetry and navigation data, but over the years, its radiometric and radar capabilities have expanded to form a system for obtaining unique ...
