The Lyman alpha Sky as Observed by New Horizons

G. R. Gladstone, J. M. Shull, W. R. Pryor +22

During September 2023 the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft was used to map diffuse Lyman alpha (Lya) emission over most of the sky, at a range of…

Engineering Optomechanically Induced Transparency by coupling a qubit to a spinning resonator

Jessica Burns, Owen Root, Hui Jing +1

We theoretically study the spectral properties of a pump-probe driven hybrid spinning optomechanical ring resonator optically coupled with a two-level quantum emitter (QE or qubit)…

On Charon's Far-Ultraviolet Surface Reflectance

Brian A. Keeney, Joel Wm. Parker, Nathaniel Cunningham +3

We present the first measurements of Charon's far-ultraviolet surface reflectance, obtained by the Alice spectrograph on New Horizons. We find no measurable flux shortward of 1650…

The Lyman-α Sky Background as Observed by New Horizons

G. Randall Gladstone, Wayne R. Pryor, S. Alan Stern +22

Recent observations of interplanetary medium (IPM) atomic hydrogen Lyman-α (Lyα) emission in the outer solar system, made with the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on New Horizons (N…

The Atmosphere of Pluto as Observed by New Horizons

G. Randall Gladstone, S. Alan Stern, Kimberly Ennico +31

Observations made during the New Horizons flyby provide a detailed snapshot of the current state of Pluto's atmosphere. While the lower atmosphere (at altitudes <200 km) is consist…

A Search for Vulcanoids with the STEREO Heliospheric Imager

A. J. Steffl, N. J. Cunningham, A. B. Shinn +2

Interior to the orbit of Mercury, between 0.07 and 0.21 AU, is a dynamically stable region where a population of asteroids, known as Vulcanoids, may reside. We present the results…
