Lensing in the Blue IV: The First Weak Gravitational Lensing Maps from the Stratosphere
Sayan Saha, Maya Amit, Jacqueline E. McCleary +42
The Super-Pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) completed its science flight in April 2023, obtaining imaging data for 30 galaxy clusters. In this work, we present th…
Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…
Multi-sensor fusion for fine-guidance and milliarcsecond-level attitude estimation of balloon-borne telescope
Philippe Voyer, Maya Amit, Steven J. Benton +44
Balloon-borne telescopes rely on fine-guidance systems to achieve milliarcsecond image stability despite residual disturbances from the balloon environment. In these systems, the F…
Lensing in the Blue III: Weak Lensing Shape Catalogs of 30 Merging Galaxy Clusters
Sayan Saha, Jacqueline E. McCleary, Spencer W. Everett +38
We present the weak gravitational lensing dataset from the Super-pressure Balloon-Borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT), which imaged 30 galaxy clusters during its 45 night flight in…
SuperBIT Superpressure Flight Instrument Overview and Performance: Near diffraction-limited Astronomical Imaging from the Stratosphere
Ajay S. Gill, Steven J. Benton, Christopher J. Damaren +26
SuperBIT was a 0.5-meter near-ultraviolet to near-infrared wide-field telescope that launched on a NASA superpressure balloon into the stratosphere from New Zealand for a 45-night…
From SuperBIT to GigaBIT: Informing next-generation balloon-borne telescope design with Fine Guidance System flight data
Philippe Voyer, Steven J. Benton, Christopher J. Damaren +28
The Super-pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) is a near-diffraction-limited 0.5m telescope that launched via NASA's super-pressure balloon technology on April 16, 2…
Data downloaded via parachute from a NASA super-pressure balloon
Ellen L. Sirks, Richard Massey, Ajay S. Gill +40
In April to May 2023, the superBIT telescope was lifted to the Earth's stratosphere by a helium-filled super-pressure balloon, to acquire astronomical imaging from above (99.5% of)…
Lensing in the Blue II: Estimating the Sensitivity of Stratospheric Balloons to Weak Gravitational Lensing
Jacqueline E. McCleary, Spencer W. Everett, Mohamed M. Shaaban +23
The Superpressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) is a diffraction-limited, wide-field, 0.5 m, near-infrared to near-ultraviolet observatory designed to exploit the stra…
Can a machine learn the outcome of planetary collisions?
Diana Valencia, Emaad Paracha, Alan P. Jackson
Planetary-scale collisions are common during the last stages of formation of solid planets, including the Solar system terrestrial planets. The problem of growing planets has been…
