Polarimetry with the Giant Magellan Telescope: A Scientific Justification & Technical Requirements Document
G. Grant Williams, Ramya M Anche, B-G Anderson +27
The photons we collect from astronomical sources are encoded with information about the physics behind their origin. To fully probe that physics, we must maximize the information w…
Citizen CATE 2024: Extending Totality During the 8 April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse with a Distributed Network of Community Participants
Sarah A. Kovac, Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton +240
The Citizen CATE 2024 next-generation experiment placed 43 identical telescope and camera setups along the path of totality during the total solar eclipse (TSE) on 8 April 2024 to…
Unexpected Long-Term Variability in Jupiter's Tropospheric Temperatures
Glenn S. Orton, Arrate Antunano, Leigh N. Fletcher +9
An essential component of planetary climatology is knowledge of the tropospheric temperature field and its variability. Previous studies of Jupiter hinted at periodic behavior that…
The LCO Outbursting Objects Key Project: Overview and Year 1 Status
Tim Lister, Michael S. P. Kelley, Carrie E. Holt +32
The LCO Outbursting Objects Key (LOOK) Project uses the telescopes of the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) Network to: (1) to systematically monitor a sample of Dynamically New Comets…
Realizing the potential of astrostatistics and astroinformatics
Gwendolyn Eadie, Thomas J. Loredo, Ashish A. Mahabal +12
This Astro2020 State of the Profession Consideration White Paper highlights the growth of astrostatistics and astroinformatics in astronomy, identifies key issues hampering the mat…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: The Next Decade of Astroinformatics and Astrostatistics
A. Siemiginowska, G. Eadie, I. Czekala +49
Over the past century, major advances in astronomy and astrophysics have been largely driven by improvements in instrumentation and data collection. With the amassing of high quali…
Polarized Transmission Spectrum of Earth as Observed during a Lunar Eclipse
Jun Takahashi, Yoichi Itoh, Kensuke Hosoya +2
Polarization during a lunar eclipse is a forgotten mystery. Coyne & Pellicori (1970) reported the detection of significant polarization during the lunar eclipse on 1968 April 13. M…
Jovian Temperature and Cloud Variability during the 2009-2010 Fade of the South Equatorial Belt
Leigh N. Fletcher, G. S. Orton, J. H. Rogers +7
Mid-infrared 7-20 m imaging of Jupiter demonstrates that the increased albedo of Jupiter's South Equatorial Belt (SEB) during the `fade' (whitening) event of 2009-2010 was corre…
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…
Hubble Space Telescope Pre-Perihelion ACS/WFC Imaging Polarimetry of Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) at 3.81 AU
Dean C. Hines, Gorden Videen, Evgenij Zubko +9
We present polarization images of Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) on UTC 2013 May 8 (rh = 3.81 AU, Delta = 4.34 AU), when the phase angle was alp…
First Earth-based Detection of a Superbolide on Jupiter
R. Hueso, A. Wesley, C. Go +14
Cosmic collisions on planets cause detectable optical flashes that range from terrestrial shooting stars to bright fireballs. On June 3, 2010 a bolide in Jupiter's atmosphere was s…
The impact of a large object with Jupiter in July 2009
A. Sánchez-Lavega, A. Wesley, G. Orton +13
On 2009 July 19, we observed a single, large impact on Jupiter at a planetocentric latitude of 55^{\circ}S. This and the Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) impacts on Jupiter in 1994 are the o…
