Flight masks of the Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument
A. J. Eldorado Riggs, Vanessa P. Bailey, Dwight Moody +25
Over the past two decades, thousands of confirmed exoplanets have been detected. The next major challenge is to characterize these other worlds and their stellar systems. Much info…
Accurate Ground-based Near-Earth-Asteroid Astrometry using Synthetic Tracking
Chengxing Zhai, Michael Shao, Navtej S. Saini +13
Accurate astrometry is crucial for determining orbits of near-Earth-asteroids (NEAs) and therefore better tracking them. This paper reports on a demonstration of 10 milliarcsecond-…
CHIMERA: a wide-field, multi-color, high-speed photometer at the prime focus of the Hale telescope
Leon K. Harding, Gregg Hallinan, Jennifer Milburn +7
The Caltech HIgh-speed Multi-color camERA (CHIMERA) is a new instrument that has been developed for use at the prime focus of the Hale 200-inch telescope. Simultaneous optical imag…
Demonstration of a Near-IR Laser Comb for Precision Radial Velocity Measurements in Astronomy
X. Yi, K. Vahala, S. Diddams +14
We describe a successful effort to produce a laser comb around 1.55 m in the astronomical H band using a method based on a line-referenced, electro-optical-modulation frequency…
Detection of a faint fast-moving near-Earth asteroid using synthetic tracking technique
Chengxing Zhai, Michael Shao, Bijan Nemati +6
We report a detection of a faint near-Earth asteroid (NEA), which was done using our synthetic tracking technique and the CHIMERA instrument on the Palomar 200-inch telescope. This…
Finding Very Small Near-Earth Asteroids using Synthetic Tracking
Michael Shao, Bijan Nemati, Chengxing Zhai +4
We present an approach that significantly increases the sensitivity for finding and tracking small and fast near Earth asteroids (NEA's). This approach relies on a combined use of…
