The First Observations of Moonlit Satellites
Sarah E. Caddy, Stephen E. Catsamas, Michele Trenti +2
Optical Space Domain Awareness (SDA) operations have traditionally relied on Sunlit passes near the terminator, limiting continuous tracking of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. In…
Daytime Photometry of Starlink Satellites with the Huntsman Telescope Pathfinder
Sarah E. Caddy, Lee R. Spitler
The rapid increase in satellite launches in recent years, and the pressure of launches planned into the next decade, demands an improvement in the efficiency of space domain awaren…
SKYSURF VI: The Impact of Thermal Variations of HST on Background Light Estimates
Isabel A. McIntyre, Timothy Carleton, Rosalia O'Brien +6
The SKYSURF project constrained extragalactic background light (EBL) and diffuse light with the vast archive of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images. Thermal emission from HST itsel…
An Optical Daytime Astronomy Pathfinder for the Huntsman Telescope
Sarah Elizabeth Caddy, Lee Robert Spitler, Simon Charles Ellis
Observing stars and satellites in optical wavelengths during the day (optical daytime astronomy) has begun a resurgence of interest. The recent dramatic dimming event of Betelgeuse…
SKYSURF-4: Panchromatic HST All-Sky Surface-Brightness Measurement Methods and Results
Rosalia O'Brien, Timothy Carleton, Rogier A. Windhorst +22
The diffuse, unresolved sky provides most of the photons that the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) receives, yet remains poorly understood. HST Archival Legacy program SKYSURF aims to…
Towards a data-driven model of the sky from low Earth orbit as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope
Sarah E. Caddy, Lee R. Spitler, Simon C. Ellis
The sky observed by space telescopes in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) can be dominated by stray light from multiple sources including the Earth, Sun and Moon. This stray light presents a s…
SKYSURF: Constraints on Zodiacal Light and Extragalactic Background Light through Panchromatic HST All-Sky Surface-Brightness Measurements: II. First Limits on Diffuse Light at 1.25, 1.4, and 1.6 microns
Timothy Carleton, Rogier A. Windhorst, Rosalia O'Brien +28
We present the first results from the HST Archival Legacy project "SKYSURF." As described in Windhorst et al. 2022, SKYSURF utilizes the large HST archive to study the diffuse UV,…
SKYSURF: Constraints on Zodiacal Light and Extragalactic Background Light through Panchromatic HST All-Sky Surface-Brightness Measurements: I. Survey Overview and Methods
Rogier A. Windhorst, Timothy Carleton, Rosalia O'Brien +35
We give an overview and describe the rationale, methods, and testing of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Archival Legacy project "SKYSURF." SKYSURF uses HST's unique capability as…
The Huntsman Telescope
Lee R. Spitler, Fergus D. Longbottom, Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes +6
The Huntsman Telescope, located at Siding Spring Observatory in Australia, is a system of ten telephoto Canon lenses designed for low surface brightness imaging in the Southern sky…
