Direct imaging of irregular satellite discs in scattered light [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
ABSTRACT Direct imaging surveys have found that long-period super-Jupiters are rare. By contrast, recent modelling of the widespread gaps in protoplanetary discs revealed by Atacama Large Millimetre Array suggests an abundant population of smaller Neptune to Jupiter-mass planets at large separations.

A new perspective on the irregular satellites of Saturn - I Dynamical and collisional history [PDF]

, 2008
The dynamical features of the irregular satellites of the giant planets argue against an in-situ formation and are strongly suggestive of a capture origin.

Properties of the Irregular Satellite System around Uranus Inferred from K2, Herschel, and Spitzer Observations [PDF]

, 2017
In this paper, we present visible-range light curves of the irregular Uranian satellites Sycorax, Caliban, Prospero, Ferdinand, and Setebos taken with the Kepler Space Telescope over the course of the K2 mission.

Determining Undersampled Coastal Tidal Harmonics Using Regularized Least Squares

Earth and Space Science, 2023
Satellite altimetry, which measures water level with global coverage and high resolution, provides an unprecedented opportunity for a wide and refined understanding of the changing tides in the coastal area.

A review on the numerical simulation of equatorial plasma bubbles toward scintillation evaluation and forecasting

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2017
Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) have been a longstanding and increasingly important subject because they cause severe scintillations in radio waves from Global Navigation Satellite System satellites.

Multicolor Photometry of the Uranus Irregular Satellites Sycorax and Caliban [PDF]

, 2001
We report on accurate BVRI photometry for the two Uranus irregular satellites Sycorax and Caliban. We derive colours, showing that Sycorax is bluer than Caliban. Our data allows us to detect a significant variability in the Caliban's light-curve, which

Comparing methods to estimate cloud cover over the Baikal Natural Territory in December 2020

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2022
The paper addresses the issue of how much cloud cover data obtained using satellite and model-interpolation techniques are suitable for monitoring the transparency of the atmosphere and determining conditions for airglow observations at a local ...

Analysis of the Temporal Evolution of Ice Aprons in the Mont-Blanc Massif Using X and C-Band SAR Images

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022
This paper investigates the backscatter evolution and surface changes of ice aprons (IAs) by exploiting time series of X- and C-band SAR images from PAZ and Sentinel-1 satellites.

Application of the MEGNO technique to the dynamics of Jovian irregular satellites

, 2009
We apply the MEGNO (Mean Exponential Growth of Nearby Orbits) technique to the dynamics of Jovian irregular satellites. We demonstrate the efficiency of applying the MEGNO indicator to generate a mapping of relevant phase-space regions occupied by ...

Outer irregular satellites of the planets and their relationship with asteroids, comets and Kuiper Belt objects [PDF]

, 2006
Outer satellites of the planets have distant, eccentric orbits that can be highly inclined or even retrograde relative to the equatorial planes of their planets.
