DebrisWatch II: Digging deeper for geosynchronous debris
James A. Blake, Benjamin F. Cooke, Cristina Paragini +27
The geosynchronous (GSO) debris environment is continually evolving. Regular monitoring of the region is consequently of great importance, though the trade-off between coverage and…
High-precision light curves of geostationary objects: The PHANTOM ECHOES 2 RPO campaign
Paul Chote, Robert Airey, James McCormac +9
We present results from an extensive optical observation campaign that monitored the Geostationary satellites Intelsat 10-02, Mission Extension Vehicle 2, Thor 5, Thor 6, Thor 7, a…
Classification of LEO Satellites Using Occultations of Background Stars
Benjamin F. Cooke, Don Pollacco, James A. Blake +4
We present the result of a proof-of-concept simulation designed to classify LEO satellites based on their occultations of background stars. We generate satellite shapes drawn from…
Short timescale imaging polarimetry of geostationary satellite Thor-6: the nature of micro-glints
K. Wiersema, P. Chote, J. Marchant +8
Large constellations of orbiting communication satellites will become an important source of noise for present and future astronomical observatories. Mitigation measures rely on hi…
DebrisWatch I: A survey of faint geosynchronous debris
James A. Blake, Paul Chote, Don Pollacco +9
Recent anomalies exhibited by satellites and rocket bodies have highlighted that a population of faint debris exists at geosynchronous (GEO) altitudes, where there are no natural r…
ULTRACAM photometry of eclipsing cataclysmic variable stars
William James Feline
The accurate determination of the masses of cataclysmic variable stars is critical to our understanding of their origin, evolution and behaviour. Observations of cataclysmic variab…
