A lunar eclipse offers a unique opportunity to investigate the terrestrial atmosphere. A recent work (Pallé et al. 2009) has published the Earth’s transmission...
Modeling the contamination of Bennu and Ryugu through catastrophic disruption of their precursors
Disruption and Reaccumulation: Asteroids such as Ryugu and Bennu are likely fragments formed from a larger body that was disrupted in the main asteroid belt [1...
We construct a detailed model for the IR dust emission from the PN IC 418. We succeed to reproduce the emission from 2 to 200 μm. We can determine the amount of...
Modeling the dynamical and photometric behavior of faint meteors in the Earth's atmosphere
Faint meteors observed with Super-Schmidt cameras are re-examined in order to assess whether their dynamical and photometric behavior can be described by means...
Modeling the effect of high altitude turbulence in wide-field correlating wavefront sensing and its impact on the performance of solar AO systems
Solar Adaptive Optics (AO) shares many issues with night-time AO, but it also has its own particularities. The wavefront sensing is performed using correlations...
Modeling the Formation and Evolution of Disk Galaxies
Inspired by recent work on feedback in disk galaxies (Efstathiou 2000; Silk 2003) and on the angular momentum distribution in simulated gas halos (Sharma &...
Modeling the globally-integrated spectral variability of the Archean Earth: The purple planet
Ongoing searches for exoplanetary systems have revealed a wealth of planets with diverse physical properties. Planets even smaller than the Earth have already...
