Las Cumbres Observatory Gravitational-Wave Follow-up in the Third and Fourth Observing Runs: Strengths and Weaknesses of a Rapid Response Galaxy Targeted Strategy
Ido Keinan, Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell +34
We present a summary of gravitational-wave (GW) follow-up using the Las Cumbres Observatory global network of telescopes during the third (O3) and fourth (O4) observing runs of the…
The Damage to Lunar Orbiting Spacecraft Caused by the Ejecta of Lunar Landers
Philip T. Metzger, James G. Mantovani
This manuscript analyzes lunar lander soil erosion models and trajectory models to calculate how much damage will occur to spacecraft orbiting in the vicinity of the Moon. The soil…
The Giant Accreting Protoplanet Survey (GAPlanetS): Optimization Techniques for Robust Detections of Protoplanets
Jéa I. Adams Redai, Katherine B. Follette, Jason Wang +11
High-contrast imaging has afforded astronomers the opportunity to study light directly emitted by adolescent (tens of Myr) and ``proto" (10Myr) planets still undergoing formatio…
Apollo Video Photogrammetry Estimation of Plume Impingement Effects (conference version)
Christopher Immer, John Lane, Philip Metzger +1
The Constellation Project's planned return to the moon requires numerous landings at the same site. Since the top few centimeters are loosely packed regolith, plume impingement fro…
Scaling of Erosion Rate in Subsonic Jet Experiments and Apollo Lunar Module Landings
Philip T. Metzger, John E. Lane, Christopher D. Immer +5
Small scale jet-induced erosion experiments are useful for identifying the scaling of erosion with respect to the various physical parameters (gravity, grain size, gas velocity, ga…
Lunar Dust Particles Blown By Lander Engine Exhaust in Rarefied and Compressible Flow
John E. Lane, Philip T. Metzger, Jeffrey W. Carlson
Previously we presented a numerical model that predicts trajectories of lunar dust, soil, and gravel blown by the engine exhaust of a lunar lander. The model uses the gas density,…
