Relationship between Radar Cross Section and Optical Magnitude based on Radar and Optical Simultaneous Observations of Faint Meteors

Ryou Ohsawa, Akira Hirota, Kohei Morita +40

Radar and optical simultaneous observations of meteors are important to understand the size distribution of the interplanetary dust. However, faint meteors detected by high power l…

An optical search for transients lasting a few seconds

Michael W. Richmond, Masaomi Tanaka, Tomoki Morokuma +37

Using a prototype of the Tomo-e Gozen wide-field CMOS mosaic camera, we acquire wide-field optical images at a cadence of 2 Hz and search them for transient sources of duration 1.5…

APPROX -- Mutual approximations between the Galilean moons. The 2016-2018 observational campaign

B. Morgado, R. Vieira-Martins, M. Assafin +23

The technique of mutual approximations accurately gives the central instant at the maximum apparent approximation of two moving natural satellites in the sky plane. This can be use…
