We Must Preserve Hubble given its Unique Complementarity to Webb, Roman, and Euclid
Rogier A. Windhorst, Gibson B. Bowling, Kevin S. Croker +17
We present compelling arguments -- focusing on galaxy science -- for preserving the main imagers and operational modes of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for as long as is technic…
SKYSURF-11: A New Zodiacal Light Model Optimized for Optical Wavelengths
Rosalia O'Brien, Richard G. Arendt, Rogier A. Windhorst +15
We present an improved zodiacal light model, optimized for optical wavelengths, using archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging from the SKYSURF program. The Kelsall et al. 199…
CubeSounder: Low SWaP-C 180 GHz Radiometer for Atmospheric Sensing Tested on High Altitude Balloons
Kyle D. Massingill, Tyler M. Karasinski, Sean Bryan +13
Microwave sounding is the leading driver of global numerical weather forecasting, but is limited by the scalability of such instruments. With modern machining and commercial microw…
SKYSURF. X. A Novel Method for Measuring Integrated Galaxy Light
Delondrae D. Carter, Timothy Carleton, Daniel J. Henningsen +19
We describe the drizzling pipeline and contents of the drizzled database for Hubble Space Telescope Cycle 27-29 Archival Legacy project "SKYSURF," the largest archival project ever…
SKYSURF IX -- The Cosmic Optical and Infrared Background from Integrated Galaxy Light Measurements
Scott A. Tompkins, Simon P. Driver, Aaron S. G. Robotham +15
As part of the SKYSURF Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Legacy Archival program we present galaxy number counts which yield measurements of the extragalactic background light (EBL) at…
SKYSURF VIII -- Modeling SKYSURF Completeness Data for Comparison to the Hubble Space Telescope Exposure Time Calculator
Zachary Goisman, Timothy Carleton, Seth H. Cohen +4
Accurately assessing image source completeness is critical for interpreting measurements on telescope data. Using the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and Advanced Camera for Surveys (AC…
