Near-Earth Object Observations using Synthetic Tracking
Chengxing Zhai, Michael Shao, Navtej Saini +5
Synthetic tracking (ST) has emerged as a potent technique for observing fast-moving near-Earth objects (NEOs), offering enhanced detection sensitivity and astrometric accuracy by a…
End-to-end numerical modeling of the Roman Space Telescope coronagraph
John E. Krist, John B. Steeves, Brandon D. Dube +14
The Roman Space Telescope will have the first advanced coronagraph in space, with deformable mirrors for wavefront control, low-order wavefront sensing and maintenance, and a photo…
Time-series and Phasecurve Photometry of Episodically-Active Asteroid (6478) Gault in a Quiescent State Using APO, GROWTH, P200 and ZTF
Josiah N. Purdum, Zhong-Yi Lin, Bryce T. Bolin +49
We observed Episodically Active Asteroid (6478) Gault in 2020 with multiple telescopes in Asia and North America and have found that it is no longer active after its recent outburs…
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) Mission Concept Study Final Report
B. Scott Gaudi, Sara Seager, Bertrand Mennesson +183
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory, or HabEx, has been designed to be the Great Observatory of the 2030s. For the first time in human history, technologies have matured sufficient…
Synthetic tracking using ZTF Long Dwell Datasets
Chengxing Zhai, Quanzhi Ye, Michael Shao +4
The Zwicky Transit Factory (ZTF) is a powerful time domain survey facility with a large field of view. We apply the synthetic tracking technique to integrate a ZTF's long-dwell dat…
A Constellation of MicroSats to Search for NEOs
Michael Shao, Hanying Zhou, Slava G. Turyshev +3
Large or even medium sized asteroids impacting the Earth can cause damage on a global scale. Existing and planned concepts for finding near-Earth objects (NEOs) with diameter of 14…
