Chang'e 7 Lunar Lander Optical Camera-Telescope: Optical Astronomy from the Moon
Quentin Andrew Parker, Partha Sarathi Pal, Junhao Chen +8
We report the design and manufacture of a new, lightweight, wide-field, optical camera-telescope on board the Chang'e 7 lunar mission (launched in August 2026 and due for lunar tou…
One cluster, two clusters, no cluster? -- The curious case of HSC 2686 and Lynga 3
Andreas Ritter, Quentin A. Parker, Xizhe Xie +1
This study was motivated by the search for Planetary Nebulae (PNe) and Open Cluster (OCs) associations. Only 5 PNe are currently in Galactic OCs among the previous OCs…
IFU Spectroscopic Study of the Planetary Nebula Abell 30: Mapping the Ionisation and Kinematic Structure of the Inner Complex
Kam Ling Chan, Andreas Ritter, Quentin Andrew Parker +1
This work presents integrated flux and velocity channel maps of the planetary nebula Abell 30 (A30) inner knot system. The observations were taken with the INTEGRAL spectrograph at…
Confirmation of the planetary nebula nature of HaTr 5. Not the remnant of Nova Sco 1437
M. A. Guerrero, E. Santamaria, G. Liberato +6
The identification of the nebula HaTr 5 with the shell remnant of the historic Nova Sco 1437 around the low-accretion rate cataclysmic variable 2MASS J17022815-4306123 has been use…
Diverse Science from VLT imagery and spectroscopy of PNe in the Galactic Bulge
Quentin Parker, Shuyu Tan, Andreas Ritter +1
We have undertaken a deep investigation of a well defined sample of 136 PNe located in a 10x10 degree central region of the Galactic Bulge observed with the ESO VLT and supplemente…
Evaluation of the performance of a CdZnTe-based soft -ray detector for CubeSat payloads
Kees de Kuijper, Rishank Diwan, Partha Sarathi Pal +4
The low-energy -ray (0.1-30 MeV) sky has been relatively unexplored since the decommissioning of the COMPTEL instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) satellite in…
From an amateur PN candidate to the Rosetta Stone of SN Iax research
Andreas Ritter, Quentin A. Parker, Foteini Lykou +3
On August 25th 2013 Dana Patchick from the "Deep Sky Hunters" (DSH) amateur astronomer group discovered a diffuse nebulosity in the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mid-I…
A fast and portable Re-Implementation of Piskunov and Valenti's Optimal-Extraction Algorithm with improved Cosmic-Ray Removal and Optimal Sky Subtraction
A. Ritter, E. A. Hyde, Q. A. Parker
We present a fast and portable re-implementation of Piskunov and Valenti's optimal-extraction algorithm (Piskunov & Valenti, 2002} in C/C++ together with full uncertainty propagati…
