Descripción
Simultaneous UV and optical variations of NGC 5548 suggest a common origin of the continuum flux at both ranges. If the bulk of the UV flux had a black body like shape, its optical contribution would be too low to account for the observed variations, and a connection between UV and FIR changes would be needed, which is not observed. However, a flat (alpha = -0.5) UV power-law is sufficient to reproduce the simultaneous changes in the UV and optical fluxes, and gives the correct F(5500)/F(1350) ratio. Although the data are not conclusive, the shape of the UV-optical continuum seems to change only slightly from the faintest to the brightest states.

    On the detection and characterization of potential Earth-impacting asteroids from space in the thermal infrared
    One of the major achievements of planetary science in the past century has been the discovery of a population of asteroids and comets that have the potential to impact our planet. These objects are collectively known as Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), which include both asteroids and comets whose orbits bring them within 1.3 astronomical units (au) of

    Reconstructing exoplanet surfaces from unresolved light curves
    An important aspect of characterizing exoplanets is getting reliable information about structures on their surfaces. Resolving exoplanet surfaces might seem like an impossible challenge. Given that no resolved direct images of exoplanet surfaces exist, this skepticism is understandable. Terrestrial exoplanets are small, distant, and difficult to
