Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Characterization of Narrow Band Filters for Infrared Astronomy The Brgamma and H_2 filters
We present a characterization of two narrow band filters commonly used in Infrared Astronomy. Our study mainly quantifies the effect of temperature and tilt angle on the central wavelength and width of the transmission bands of such filters.

On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer
Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

A study of extended red emission in reflection nebulae [PDF]
In the first part of this thesis spectroscopic observations of the Red Rectangle nebula are presented. A link is made between the most prominent unique emission line features, which are superimposed on the broad emission spectrum of the Red Rectangle ...

Jupiter's Auroral Ionosphere: Hybrid Monte Carlo, Auroral Spectrum and Conductivity Modeling
Abstract We present a new model of auroral precipitation and associated phenomena at Jupiter, called the Jupiter Auroral Ionosphere Code (JAIC). The hybrid model follows the primary electron population using a Monte Carlo code that runs on a GPU, and computes the contribution of the secondaries using a two‐stream approximation.

Efficient computer algorithms for infrared astronomy data processing
Data processing techniques to be studied for use in infrared astronomy data analysis systems are outlined. Only data from space based telescope systems operating as survey instruments are considered.

Mastcam‐Z Spectrophotometric Properties of Materials at the Van Zyl Overlook, Jezero Crater
Abstract During Sols 63–65 of Mars 2020, Mastcam‐Z multispectral (442–1022 nm) images were acquired at Van Zyl Overlook (VZO), spanning phase angles from ∼0° to 150°, to model photometric parameters for seven surface units. These units included rocks, soils, regolith, and rover tracks near the Jezero landing site.

Ground- and space-based observations have revealed that ultrahot Jupiters (UHJs, T _eq > 2200 K) typically have inverted thermal profiles, while cooler hot Jupiters have noninverted ones.

Geologically Recent Formation of Some Tesserae on Venus by Plains Deformation
Abstract Tessera is a pervasively deformed terrain type on Venus generally interpreted as the oldest preserved material on the surface. Large expanses of this terrain type are typically elevated and have been hypothesized to be felsic, perhaps analogous to Earth's continents and even to date from an era with a more Earth‐like climate earlier in Venus ...
