The Ultraviolet Type Ia Supernova CubeSat (UVIa): Science Motivation & Mission Concept
Keri Hoadley, Curtis McCully, Gillian Kyne +23
The Ultraviolet (UV) Type Ia Supernova Mission (UVIa) is a CubeSat/SmallSat concept that stands to test critical space-borne UV technology for future missions like the Habitable Wo…
Double-offset Cassegrain telescopes for the Ultraviolet Type Ia (UVIa) mission concept
Fernando Cruz Aguirre, Keri Hoadley, Curtis McCully +13
Our understanding of cosmology is shaped by Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), the runaway thermonuclear detonations of white dwarfs via accretion from a companion star. The nature of th…
A Nearby Dark Molecular Cloud in the Local Bubble Revealed via H Fluorescence
Blakesley Burkhart, Thavisha E. Dharmawardena, Shmuel Bialy +20
A longstanding prediction in interstellar theory posits that significant quantities of molecular gas, crucial for star formation, may be undetected due to being ``dark" in commonly…
