VERA’s 20 yr Evolution in Science and Technology
GalaxiesWe review the past 20 yr evolution of VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) in both science and techinology. VERA is a VLBI array in Japan which consists of four 20 m-diameter telescopes, originally dedicated to phase-referencing VLBI astrometry ...

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Unexpectedly following launch, the Lunar Trailblazer mission experienced software anomalies that led it to orient solar panels away from the sun and lose communication with Earth. This paper describes efforts to determine the spacecraft state and attempt recovery of the mission's science at the Moon.

Mission Design and Early Navigation Operations for the Lunar Trailblazer Mission
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Lunar Trailblazer is a smallsat mission launched on 27 February 2025 as a secondary payload with the Intuitive Machines IM‐2 mission. After insertion into a near‐polar circular orbit around the Moon, the mission's goal was to search and characterize lunar water, primarily looking for ice in permanently shadowed craters and water bound in ...

An Updated Reference Frame for the Galactic Inner Parsec
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Infrared observations of stellar orbits about Sgr A* probe the mass distribution in the inner parsec of the Galaxy and provide definitive evidence for the existence of a massive black hole.

Al‐Khadhaf: The first camera‐observed (H5–6) meteorite fall from Oman
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 522-547, March 2026.Abstract A fireball camera system installed in 2022 by the Oman Meteorite Monitoring Project (OMMP) as part of the Global Fireball Observatory (GFO) recorded a 3.2 s fireball on March 8, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. UTC. A meteoroid of 4 ± 2 kg entered the atmosphere at 14.0 km/s.

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The continued detection of near‐Earth asteroids with postulated close encounters with Earth is a clear motivation for planetary defense–driven mission designs. Fast reconnaissance in an imminent threat scenario (i.e., less than a few years upon impact) is crucial to gain information about an asteroid potentially impacting the Earth in the near future ...

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This paper investigates the degradation of pointing accuracy in the Kunming 40‐m radio telescope due to long‐term equipment aging and environmental disturbances. Conventional linear pointing models are constrained by their linear modeling framework, making it difficult to accurately represent the nonlinear errors induced by temperature, wind speed, and

MERLIN Astrometry of 11 Radio Stars
The Astronomical Journal, 2006 We report accurate positions in the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) for 11 radio stars. Observations were made using the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network at a radio frequency of 5 GHz. The positions are estimated to be accurate at the 5 mas level.
