Candidate Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by the New Horizons Subaru TNO Survey
Wesley C. Fraser, Simon B. Porter, Lowell Peltier +41
We report the detection of 239 trans-Neptunian Objects discovered through the on-going New Horizons survey for distant minor bodies being performed with the Hyper Suprime-Cam mosai…
The New Horizons Extended Mission Target: Arrokoth Search and Discovery
Marc W. Buie, John R. Spencer, Simon B. Porter +37
Following the Pluto fly-by of the New Horizons spacecraft, the mission provided a unique opportunity to explore the Kuiper Belt in-situ. The possibility existed to fly-by a Kuiper…
Development and Space-Qualification of a Miniaturized CubeSat's 2-W EDFA for Space Laser Communications
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Koichi Shiratama, Dimitar Kolev +4
The Japanese National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) is currently developing a high-performance laser-communication terminal for CubeSats aiming at p…
NICT's versatile miniaturized lasercom terminals for moving platforms
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Koichi Shiratama, Phuc V. Trinh +5
With the goal of meeting the diverse requirements of many different types of platforms, ranging from small drones to big satellites, and being applied in a variety of diverse scena…
Prototype Development and Validation of a Beam-Divergence Control System for Free-Space Laser Communications
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Koichi Shiratama, Dimitar Kolev +9
Being able to dynamically control the transmitted-beam divergence can bring important advantages in free-space optical communications. Specifically, this technique can help to opti…
The Geology and Geophysics of Kuiper Belt Object (486958) Arrokoth
J. R. Spencer, S. A. Stern, J. M. Moore +75
The Cold Classical Kuiper Belt, a class of small bodies in undisturbed orbits beyond Neptune, are primitive objects preserving information about Solar System formation. The New Hor…
Physical properties of near-Earth asteroids with a low delta-: Survey of target candidates for the Hayabusa2 mission
Sunao Hasegawa, Daisuke Kuroda, Kohei Kitazato +40
Sample return from the near-Earth asteroid known as 25143 Itokawa was conducted as part of the Hayabusa mission, with a large number of scientific findings being derived from the r…
LEO-to-ground optical communications using SOTA (Small Optical TrAnsponder) - Payload verification results and experiments on space quantum communications
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Hideki Takenaka, Dimitar Kolev +8
Free-space optical communications have held the promise of revolutionizing space communications for a long time. The benefits of increasing the bitrate while reducing the volume, m…
The Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS) - II. Optical Imaging and Photometric Catalogs
H. Furusawa, G. Kosugi, M. Akiyama +33
We present multi-waveband optical imaging data obtained from observations of the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS). The survey field, centered at R.A.=02:18:00, decl.=-05:00:00,…
Current Performance and On-Going Improvements of the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope
Masanori Iye, Hiroshi Karoji, Hiroyasu Ando +2
An overview of the current status of the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope constructed and operated at Mauna Kea, Hawaii, by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan is presented. The b…
Down-Sizing in Galaxy Formation at z~1 in the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS)
Tadayuki Kodama
We use the deep wide-field optical imaging data of the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS) to discuss the luminosity (mass) dependent galaxy colours down to z'=25.0 (5 x 10^9 h_{7…
