  • Results From SEPPCoN, a Survey to Study the Physical Properties of the Nuclei and Dust of Jupiter-Family Comets
    We present results from SEPPCoN, our Survey of Ensemble Physical Properties of Cometary Nuclei. This survey involves studying 100 Jupiter-family comets (JFCs) -- about 30% of the known population -- using the Spitzer Space Telescope for mid-infrared measurements of thermal emission and several ground-based telescopes for visible-wavelength

  • Relationships of Dione's physical and chemical surface properties to geological and morphological surface features
    During orbit DI 016 (October 2005) Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) [1] acquired spatially resolved spectral data of the Saturnian satellite Dione with pixel ground resolutions up to 2 km per pixel. Additionally, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) [2] observed the satellite synchronously to VIMS with pixel ground

  • Progress Report: Probabilistic and Statistical Bases of Surface Brightness Fluctuations
    The surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) method is a statistical method applied on image pixels in different bands. This contribution aims to distinguish between the observational (statistical) method and the theoretical (probabilistic) method based on stellar population synthesis and needed for the calibration of observational SBF. We find that

  • Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS - I. 101 white dwarf main-sequence binaries with multiple Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopy
    We present a detailed analysis of 101 white dwarf main-sequence binaries (WDMS) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) for which multiple SDSS spectra are available. We detect significant radial velocity variations in 18 WDMS, identifying them as post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) or strong PCEB candidates. Strict upper limits to the orbital

  • Photospheric Magnetic Flux Emergence: A comparative study between Hinode/SOT Observations and MHD simulations
    With high angular resolution, high temporal cadence and a stable point spread function, the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) onboard the Hinode satellite is the ideal instrument for the study of magnetic flux emergence and its manifestations on the solar surface. In this presentation, we focus on the development of ephemeral regions and small active

  • On the Primordial Helium Abundance and the Δ Y/Δ O Ratio
    We present a review on the determination of the primordial helium abundance, Y_p, based on the study of hydrogen and helium recombination lines in extragalactic H II regions. We also discuss the observational determinations of the increase of helium to the increase of oxygen by mass Δ Y/Δ O , and compare them with predictions based on models of
