I Can Do It With A Broken Planetesimal: Characterising the planetary debris in heavily polluted cool white dwarfs
Anna-Maria Cutolo, Boris T. Gänsicke, Andrew Swan +7
We present the analysis of four cool and strongly metal-polluted H-atmosphere white dwarfs observed with X-shooter. We compared their atmospheric parameters obtained from spectrosc…
NGTS-39 b: A 58 d transiting warm Jupiter in an eccentric orbit
Ioannis Apergis, Daniel Bayliss, Solène Ulmer-Moll +53
We report the discovery and characterisation of NGTS-39 b (TIC 453147896 b), a warm Jupiter transiting a Sun-like star on a 58.2 day, eccentric (e = 0.386 +/- 0.019) orbit. NGTS-39…
Following up the Kepler field with PLATO: Transit Timing Performance
Morgan A. Mitchell, James McCormac, Don Pollacco +11
The European Space Agency is set to launch PLATO, the third medium-class mission of its Cosmic Vision programme, in early 2027. Using the transit method, PLATO is expected to detec…
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…
Brightness, Colour, Polarisation: A Multi-Instrument Observation Campaign of the Gorizont-6 Satellite
Robert J. S Airey, Paul Chote, Klaas Wiersema +15
We present a coordinated multi-instrument photometric and polarimetric study of the defunct geosynchronous satellite, Gorizont-6. This observation campaign combined wide-field mult…
High-Precision Photometry with a scientific CMOS Camera: II On-Sky Testing of the Marana camera at the NGTS facility
Ioannis Apergis, Daniel Bayliss, Paul Chote +24
Modern scientific CMOS cameras offer very fast readout speeds and low read noise. In this study, we evaluate the performance of the Andor Marana CMOS camera through on-sky testing…
A search for photometric variability towards the globular cluster M3 with the TWenty Inch Survey Telescope
Morgan A. Mitchell, Paul Chote, James McCormac +9
We present the commissioning results and first scientific observations from the newly installed TWIST observatory - a 50 cm telescope equipped with an sCMOS camera providing a $36.…
Lord of the (sub-)Rings : Mapping the surface reflectance and spin-axis of Ajisai
Robert J. S Airey, Paul Chote, James A. Blake +4
Active debris removal techniques are posed to become an important tool in maintaining the safety of the near-Earth space environment. These techniques rely on a clear understanding…
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…
A comprehensive survey of the GEO-belt using simultaneous four-colour observations with STING
Robert J. S. Airey, Paul Chote, James A. Blake +7
Colour light curves of resident space objects (RSOs) encapsulate distinctive features that can offer insights into an object's structure and design, making them an invaluable tool…
Predicting RSO Populations Using a Neighbouring Orbits Technique
Benjamin F. Cooke, James A. Blake, Paul Chote +2
The determination of the full population of Resident Space Objects (RSOs) in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is a key issue in the field of space situational awareness that will only increas…
Simulated recovery of LEO objects using sCMOS blind stacking
Benjamin F. Cooke, Paul Chote, Don Pollacco +5
We present the methodology and results of a simulation to determine the recoverability of LEO objects using a blind stacking technique. The method utilises sCMOS and GPU technology…
