The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS): Determining Inputs to Planetary Habitability
David R. Ardila, Evgenya Shkolnik, Paul Scowen +19
Seventy-five billion low-mass stars in our galaxy host at least one small planet in their habitable zone (HZ). The stellar ultraviolet (UV) radiation received by the planets is str…
The UV-SCOPE Mission: Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Characterization Of Planets and their Environments
David R. Ardila, Evgenya Shkolnik, John Ziemer +22
UV-SCOPE is a mission concept to determine the causes of atmospheric mass loss in exoplanets, investigate the mechanisms driving aerosol formation in hot Jupiters, and study the in…
Onboard Dynamic Image Exposure Control for the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS)
Tahina Ramiaramanantsoa, Judd D. Bowman, Evgenya L. Shkolnik +19
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) is a 6U CubeSat under development to monitor the flaring and chromospheric activity of M dwarfs at near-ultraviolet (NUV) and far…
Time-Resolved Photometry of the High-Energy Radiation of M Dwarfs with the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS)
Tahina Ramiaramanantsoa, Judd D. Bowman, Evgenya L. Shkolnik +18
Know thy star, know thy planet,... especially in the ultraviolet (UV). Over the past decade, that motto has grown from mere wish to necessity in the M dwarf regime, given that the…
End-to-end ground calibration and in-flight performance of the FIREBall-2 instrument
Vincent Picouet, Bruno Milliard, Gillian Kyne +18
The payload of the Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall-2), the second generation of the FIREBall instrument (PI: C. Martin, Caltech), has been calibrated and…
FIREBall-2: The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon Telescope
Erika Hamden, D. Christopher Martin, Bruno Milliard +31
The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall) is a mission designed to observe faint emission from the circumgalactic medium of moderate redshift (z~0.7) ga…
FIREBall-2: advancing TRL while doing proof-of-concept astrophysics on a suborbital platform
Erika T. Hamden, Keri Hoadley, D. Christopher Martin +32
Here we discuss advances in UV technology over the last decade, with an emphasis on photon counting, low noise, high efficiency detectors in sub-orbital programs. We focus on the u…
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS): A Mission to Understand the Impact of Stars in Exoplanets
David R. Ardila, Evgenya Shkolnik, Paul Scowen +14
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) is a NASA-funded astrophysics mission, devoted to the study of the ultraviolet (UV) time-domain behavior in low-mass stars. Given…
Enhanced atomic layer etching of native aluminum oxide for ultraviolet optical applications
John Hennessy, Christopher S. Moore, Kunjithapatham Balasubramanian +3
We report on the development and application of an atomic layer etching (ALE) procedure based on alternating exposures of trimethylaluminum and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (HF) imp…
