The Lazuli Space Observatory: Architecture & Capabilities
Arpita Roy, Stuart Feldman, Pete Klupar +51
The Lazuli Space Observatory is a 3-meter aperture astronomical facility designed for rapid-response observations and precision astrophysics across visible to near-infrared wavelen…
Searching for close-in planets around TWA 7 with SPIRou
J. -F. Donati, P. I. Cristofari, C. Moutou +7
We outline in this paper observations of the young pre-main-sequence low-mass star TWA 7, hosting a debris disk and a distant planet. Using data collected with the near-infrared SP…
SPHEREx Discovery of Strong Water Ice Absorption and an Extended Carbon Dioxide Coma in 3I/ATLAS
C. M. Lisse, Y. P. Bach, S. Bryan +17
In mid-August 2025, 0.75-5.0 micron SPHEREx imaging spectrophotometric and ancillary NASA-IRTF SpeX 0.7-2.5 micron low-resolution spectral observations of Interstellar Object 3I AT…
Six-yr SPIRou monitoring of the young planet-host dwarf AU Mic
J. -F. Donati, P. I. Cristofari, C. Moutou +10
In this paper we revisit our spectropolarimetric and velocimetric analysis of the young M dwarf AU Mic based on data collected with SPIRou at the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope, ov…
Observations of Uranus at High Phase Angle as Seen by New Horizons
Samantha N. Hasler, L. C. Mayorga, William M. Grundy +14
We present flux measurements of Uranus observed at phase angles of 43.9°, 44.0°, and 52.4° by the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) on the New Horizons spacecraft duri…
SPIRou observations of the young planet-hosting star PDS 70
J. -F. Donati, P. I. Cristofari, S. H. P. Alencar +14
This paper presents near-infrared spectropolarimetric and velocimetric observations of the young planet-hosting T Tauri star PDS 70, collected with SPIRou at the 3.6m Canada-France…
