The discovery of cosmic acceleration has stimulated theorists to consider dark energy or modifications to Einstein's General Relativity as possible explanations. The last decade ha…
Satellite-Mounted Light Sources as Photometric Calibration Standards for Ground-Based Telescopes
Justin Albert
A significant and growing portion of systematic error on a number of fundamental parameters in astrophysics and cosmology is due to uncertainties from absolute photometric and flux…
Laser Ranging to the Lost Lunokhod~1 Reflector
T. W. Murphy, E. G. Adelberger, J. B. R. Battat +6
In 1970, the Soviet Lunokhod 1 rover delivered a French-built laser reflector to the Moon. Although a few range measurements were made within three months of its landing, these mea…
Long-term degradation of optical devices on the moon
T. W. Murphy, E. G. Adelberger, J. B. R. Battat +6
Forty years ago, Apollo astronauts placed the first of several retroreflector arrays on the lunar surface. Their continued usefulness for laser-ranging might suggest that the lunar…
