Signature of Saturn's auroral cusp: Simultaneous Hubble Space Telescope FUV observations and upstream solar wind monitoring [PDF]
peer reviewedModel simulations by Bunce et al. (2005a) have shown that direct precipitation of electrons in Saturn's dayside cusp regions is not capable of producing significant FUV aurora.

A statistical analysis of the location and width of Saturn's southern auroras [PDF]
peer reviewedA selection of twenty-two Hubble Space Telescope images of Saturn's ultraviolet auroras obtained during 1997-2004 has been analysed to determine the median location and width of the auroral oval, and their variability.

Characterization of near-Earth objects (NEOs) is critical for Earth-impact hazard assessment. Particularly crucial to our physical understanding of NEOs are laboratory spectral measurements of meteorites as they are the best and most widely available ...

Probing the fluctuating ultraviolet background using the Hubble Frontier Fields [PDF]
In recent years, the rise in the number of Lyman Break Galaxies detected at high redshifts z ≥ 6 has opened up the possibility of understanding early galaxy formation physics in great detail.

The shocking transit of WASP-12b : modelling the observed early ingress in the near ultraviolet [PDF]
4 pages, 2 figuresNear ultraviolet observations of WASP-12b have revealed an early ingress compared to the optical transit lightcurve. This has been interpreted as due to the presence of a magnetospheric bow shock which forms when the relative velocity ...

ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to confirm the feasibility of the use of digitized low dispersive MtWilson Michigan Southern Sky Hα$$ \alpha $$ survey astronomical photographic plates for modern astrophysical research. The detection of highly redshifted objects, such as early galaxies and quasars, is fundamental to understanding the universe's ...

Water Production Rates of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
We report the detection of water activity in the third confirmed interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, based on ultraviolet imaging with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory’s Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope. Assuming a reddening of 29% between 3325.7 and 5437.8 Å,

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.
