Amateur Observers Witness the Return of Venus' Cloud Discontinuity
Kardasis E., Peralta J., Maravelias G. +13
Firstly identified in images from JAXA's orbiter Akatsuki, the cloud discontinuity of Venus is a planetary-scale phenomenon known to be recurrent since, at least, the 1980s. Interp…
A paradigm to develop new contributors to Astronomy
Grigoris Maravelias, Emmanouel Vourliotis, Krinio Marouda +6
One of the most regular activities of amateur clubs is scientific outreach, a paramount channel to disseminate scientific results. It is typically performed through talks given by…
A new outburst of the yellow hypergiant star Cas
Anna Aret, Michaela Kraus, Indrek Kolka +1
Spectroscopic monitoring of the yellow hypergiant Cas revealed a new outburst in 2013, which is obvious from the development of TiO bands in the spectra. Also many atmospheric…
The need for Professional-Amateur collaborations in studies of Jupiter and Saturn
Emmanuel Kardasis, John H. Rogers, Glenn Orton +6
The observation of gaseous giant planets is of high scientific interest. Although they have been the targets of several spacecraft missions, there still remains a need for continuo…
Trawling for transits in a sea of noise: A Search for Exoplanets by Analysis of WASP Optical Lightcurves and Follow-up (SEAWOLF)
E. Gaidos, D. R. Anderson, S. Lepine +12
Studies of transiting Neptune-size planets orbiting close to nearby bright stars can inform theories of planet formation because mass and radius and therefore mean density can be a…
A Demonstration of Accurate Wide-field V-band Photometry Using a Consumer-grade DSLR Camera
Brian K. Kloppenborg, Roger Pieri, Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein +2
The authors examined the suitability of using a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera for stellar photometry and, in particular, investigated wide field exposures made with mini…
