New Jupiter Satellites and Moon-Moon Collisions
Scott Sheppard, Gareth Williams, David Tholen +7
We report the discovery of 12 new satellites of Jupiter, giving Jupiter 79 known satellites. The new finds are between 23rd-24th mag in the r-band and 1-3 km in diameter assuming d…
Improved Image Quality Over 10' Fields with the `Imaka Ground Layer Adaptive Optics Experiment
Fatima Abdurrahman, Jessica R. Lu, Mark Chun +5
`Imaka is a ground layer adaptive optics (GLAO) demonstrator on the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope with a 24'x18' field-of-view, nearly an order of magnitude larger than previ…
Atmospheric Scintillation in Astronomical Photometry
J. Osborn, D. Föhring, V. S. Dhillon +1
Scintillation noise due to the Earth's turbulent atmosphere can be a dominant noise source in high-precision astronomical photometry when observing bright targets from the ground.…
The AIMSS Project I: Bridging the Star Cluster - Galaxy Divide
Mark A. Norris, Sheila J. Kannappan, Duncan A. Forbes +15
We describe the structural and kinematic properties of the first compact stellar systems discovered by the AIMSS project. These spectroscopically confirmed objects have sizes ($\si…
739 observed NEAs and new 2-4m survey statistics within the EURONEAR network
O. Vaduvescu, M. Birlan, A. Tudorica +36
We report follow-up observations of 477 program Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) using nine telescopes of the EURONEAR network having apertures between 0.3 and 4.2 m. Adding these NEAs…
ULTRACAM z'-band Detection of the Secondary Eclipse of WASP-12b
D. Föhring, V. S. Dhillon, Nikku Madhusudhan +4
We present z'-band secondary eclipse photometry of the highly irradiated hot Jupiter WASP-12b using ULTRACAM on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope. We measure a decrease in flux o…
