An Algorithm for Affordable Vision-Based GNSS-Denied Strapdown Celestial Navigation

Drones
Celestial navigation is rarely seen in modern Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The size and weight of a stabilized imaging system, and the lack of precision, tend to be at odds with the operational requirements of the aircraft.

The Advanced Spectral Library: The Evolution of Chromospheric Wind Characteristics from Noncoronal to Hybrid Giant Stars

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph treasury program Advanced Spectral Library enables investigations of the characteristics and dynamics of the wind and chromosphere of cool stars using high-quality spectral data.

Stellarators

Fusion Science and Technology, 2004
Stellarators are toroidal devices where the required rotational transform of the magnetic field lines is generated by external field coils and not via an induced net toroidal plasma current. This confinement scheme has the advantages that, in principle, steady-state plasma operation is possible and that it does not have to brace itself against ...

What asteroseismology can do for exoplanets

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
We describe three useful applications of asteroseismology in the context of exoplanet science: (1) the detailed characterisation of exoplanet host stars; (2) the measurement of stellar inclinations; and (3) the determination of orbital eccentricity from ...

Interstellar Propulsion Using Laser-Driven Inertial Confinement Fusion Physics

Universe, 2022
To transport a spacecraft to distances far beyond the solar heliosphere and around the planets of other stars will require advanced space propulsion systems that go beyond the existing technological state of the art. The release of fusion energy from the

A Hierarchical Bayesian Framework for Inferring the Stellar Obliquity Distribution

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Stellar obliquity, the angle between a planet’s orbital axis and its host star’s spin axis, traces the formation and evolution of a planetary system. In transiting-exoplanet observations, only the sky-projected stellar obliquity can be measured, but this

Investigation of ρ Cas (HR 9045, HD 224014) stellar atmosphere [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal
The atmosphere of hypergiant ρ Cas is investigated by the method of atmospheric model. Effective temperature and the surface of gravity are determined by comparing the observed and theoretical values of photometrical indices [c1];Q, and ...
