Impact of the SpaceX Starlink Satellites on the Zwicky Transient Facility Survey Observations
Przemek Mroz, Angel Otarola, Thomas A. Prince +6
There is a growing concern about an impact of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellations on ground-based astronomical observations, in particular, on wide-field surveys in the…
Analysing the impact of satellite constellations and ESO's role in supporting the astronomy community
Andrew Williams, Olivier Hainaut, Angel Otarola +2
In the coming decade, up to 100 000 satellites in large constellations could be launched into low Earth orbit. The satellites will introduce a variety of negative impacts on astron…
A Report to ESO Council on the Impact of Satellite Constellations
Andrew Williams, Olivier Hainaut, Angel Otarola +4
Up to 100,000 satellites could be launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in the coming decade. Assuming the two most advanced companies' plans are realised, close to 80,000 satellites…
Turbulence nowcast for the Cerro Paranal and Cerro Armazones observatory sites
Julien Milli, Tomás Rojas, Benjamin Courtney-Barrer +4
Optical turbulence affects significantly the quality of ground-based astronomical observations. An accurate and reliable forecast of optical turbulence can help to optimise the sch…
Optical-to-NIR magnitude measurements of the Starlink LEO Darksat satellite and effectiveness of the darkening treatment
J. Tregloan-Reed, A. Otarola, E. Unda-Sanzana +11
Four observations of Starlink's LEO communication satellites, Darksat and STARLINK-1113, were conducted on two nights with two telescopes. The Chakana 0.6\,m telescope at the Ckoir…
First observations and magnitude measurement of Starlink's Darksat
J. Tregloan-Reed, A. Otarola, E. Ortiz +5
Measure the Sloan g' magnitudes of the Starlink's STARLINK-1130 (Darksat) and 1113 LEO communication satellites and determine the effectiveness of the Darksat darkening treatment a…
