Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 128, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract We use a long‐term record of ground‐based mid‐infrared (7.9–24.5 μm) observations, captured between 1984 and late 2019 from 3‐m and 8‐m class observatories (mainly NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility, ESO's Very Large Telescope, and the Subaru Telescope), to characterize the long‐term, multi‐decade variability of the thermal and aerosol ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 128, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Spectroscopic measurements are a powerful tool to investigate the surface composition of airless bodies and provide clues of their origin. The composition and origin of Phobos and Deimos are still unknown and are currently widely debated. We present spectroscopic measurements of Phobos and Deimos at ultraviolet and visible wavelengths (250–650

A brief history of image sensors in the optical
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 Image sensors, most notably the Charge Coupled Device (CCD), have revolutionized observational astronomy as perhaps the most important innovation after photography. Since the 50th anniversary of the invention of the CCD has passed in 2019, it is time to review the development of detectors for the visible wavelength range, starting with the discovery of

Photometry and astrometry with JWST‐II: NIRCam distortion correction
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Abstract In preparation to make the most of our own planned James Webb Space Telescope investigations, we take advantage of publicly available calibration and early‐science observations to independently derive and test a geometric‐distortion solution for NIRCam detectors. Our solution is able to correct the distortion to better than ∼$$ \sim $$0.2 mas.

The harsh environment where exoplanets live
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 343, Issue 4, May 2022., 2022 Abstract The X‐ray and Extreme Ultraviolet (XUV) actvity of the Sun has determined important effects on the planets around it. In particular, high doses of X‐rays, flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) combined with masses and sizes of the planets and the shielding action of the planetary magnetic fields have determined the diverse habitability of ...

A 1.3% Distance to M33 from Hubble Space Telescope Cepheid Photometry
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a low-dispersion period–luminosity relation (PL) based on 154 Cepheids in Messier 33 (M33) with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry from the PHATTER survey.

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 343, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Abstract We revisited 10 known exoplanetary systems using publicly available data provided by the transiting exoplanet survey satellite (TESS). The sample presented in this work consists of short period transiting exoplanets, with inflated radii and large reported uncertainty on their planetary radii.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Previous studies of the exoplanet LTT 1445Ac concluded that the light curve from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was consistent with both grazing and nongrazing geometries. As a result, the radius and hence density of the planet remained

HST photometry of the trapezium cluster
The Astrophysical Journal, 1994 We have obtained images of 11 fields in the Trapezium cluster with the Planetary Camera (PC) of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in order to extend Herbig & Terndrup's (1986) study of this prototype, dense embedded cluster to fainter magnitudes than is possible from the ground.
