The First Extrasolar Planet Discovered with a New Generation High Throughput Doppler Instrument [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We report the detection of the first extrasolar planet, ET-1 (HD 102195b), using the Exoplanet Tracker (ET), a new generation Doppler instrument. The planet orbits HD 102195, a young star with solar metallicity that may be part of the local association ...

STAR forward detector upgrade status and performance [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
An upgrade to the STAR detector system at forward rapidities has been completed before the RHIC RUN 2022. It consists of the Forward Tracking System (FTS) and the Forward Calorimeter System (FCS).

A Novel Satellite Beacon for Ground-Based All-Day Observation Using a Star Tracker

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing
All-day satellite observations are crucial for communications, navigation, and remote sensing. Current systems rely on large, long-focal-length telescopes that struggle with daytime surveillance.

Observation angular distance error modeling and matching threshold optimization for terrestrial star tracker.

open access: yesOptics Express, 2019
Observation angular distance error, as the difference between the actual observation angular distance and the reference angular distance, is an important parameter that affects the identification success rate, attitude measurement accuracy, and real-time

Quadrant-CCD star tracker [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
We discuss the characteristics of a Quadrant-CCD developed by Tektronix for pointing and tracking applications. The device is discussed in the context of its application to the Johns Hopkins University adaptive optics program, where it is being used for ...

Autonomous Recalibration of Star Trackers [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Sensors Journal, 2018
<p>Star trackers must be calibrated prior to flight so that they can make accurate measurements of star positions within the instrument field of view. This calibration is usually performed in atmosphere and after the sensor is launched; it is not uncommon to observe a small shift in some of the calibration parameters.

Selection of Design Parameters in Optical System of Star Tracker for a Satellite [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999
In order to develop star trackers for a satellite in our country we studied selection procedure of optical parameters. For logical selection of the optical parameters, we simulated the entire processes in which star lights imaged on a CCD sensor were ...

Attitude-correlated frames adding approach to improve signal-to-noise ratio of star image for star tracker.

open access: yesOptics Express, 2019
When applied inside Earth's atmosphere, the star tracker is sensitive to sky background produced by atmospheric scattering and stray light. The shot noise induced by the strong background reduces star detection capability and even makes it completely out
