Hubble Space Telescope observations of Baade's window [PDF]
This is a status report on a continuing program using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide–Field Camera (WFC) to probe the stellar population of the Galactic bulge to fainter magnitudes. We seek the mean age of the stars and the initial mass function (IMF).

This study presents an improved technique for Localization Optoacoustic Tomography using experimentally‐derived effective point spread functions. The method significantly enhances sub‐pixel localization performance, with applicable potential to relatively under‐sampled scenarios and other imaging modalities, paving the way for new frontiers in super ...

Faint White Dwarf Flux Standards: Data and Models
Fainter standard stars are essential for the calibration of larger telescopes. This work adds to the calibration spectra (CALSPEC) database of 19 faint white dwarfs (WDs) with all-sky coverage and V magnitudes between 16.5 and 18.7.

Probing Ganymede’s Atmosphere with HST Lyα Images in Transit of Jupiter
We report results from far-ultraviolet observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, transiting across the planet’s dayside hemisphere.

Abstract The Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Explorer (SAMPEX) mission launched in July 1992 was the first NASA “Small Explorer” project. It had the goal to show how space missions could be developed much more rapidly than had become the situation in the 1980s and 1990s.

Harnessing the Hubble Space Telescope Archives: A Catalog of 21,926 Interacting Galaxies
Mergers play a complex role in galaxy formation and evolution. Continuing to improve our understanding of these systems requires ever larger samples, which can be difficult (even impossible) to select from individual surveys.

Rethinking “Prebiotic Chemistry”
Abstract In origins‐of‐life research, the term “prebiotic chemistry” is commonly used to describe processes thought to be related to or required for the emergence of life. However, it suffers from several potential drawbacks that have caused the present group of authors to rethink their usage of the term.

Examining the detailed structure of galaxy populations provides valuable insights into their formation and evolution mechanisms. Significant barriers to such analysis are the nontrivial noise properties of real astronomical images and the point-spread ...
