A Search for Water Vapor Plumes on Europa using SOFIA

William Sparks, M. Richter, C. deWitt +8

We present mid-infrared SOFIA/EXES spectroscopy of Europa, seeking direct evidence of the presence of water vapor arising from plumes venting from the surface of Europa. We place q…

Understanding Persistence: A 3D Trap Map of an H2RG Imaging Sensor

Rachel E. Anderson, Michael Regan, Jeff Valenti +1

Several theories exist to explain persistence, most of which revolve around the distribution of traps. We aim to simulate persistence and illustrate this complex issue with a 3D tr…

The UDF05 Follow-up of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. III. The Luminosity Function at z~6

Jian Su, Massimo Stiavelli, Pascal Oesch +13

In this paper, we present a derivation of the rest-frame 1400A luminosity function (LF) at redshift six from a new application of the maximum likelihood method by exploring the fiv…
