Satellite Constellation Avoidance with the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time

We investigate a novel satellite avoidance strategy to mitigate the impact of large commercial satellite constellations in low-Earth orbit on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and…

Mitigation of LEO Satellite Brightness and Trail Effects on the Rubin Observatory LSST

We report studies on the mitigation of optical effects of bright low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites on Vera C. Rubin Observatory and its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). These include options…

From Differential Image Motion to Seeing

The theory of the differential image motion monitor (DIMM), a standard and widely spread method of measuring astronomical seeing, is reviewed and extended. More accurate coefficients for computing…

From the grating scale monitor to the generalized seeing monitor.

A new version of this instrument, the generalized seeing monitor (GSM), consisting of four identical modules for measuring the angle-of-arrival (AA) fluctuations of a perturbed wave front, is described and a detailed analysis of its performance and accuracy is made.

Galaxy blending effects in deep imaging cosmic shear probes of cosmology

Upcoming deep imaging surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time will be confronted with challenges that come with increased depth. One of the leading systematic…

The Hyper Suprime-Cam SSP transient survey in COSMOS: Overview

We present an overview of a deep transient survey of the COSMOS field with the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC). The survey was performed for the 1.77 deg2 ultra-deep layer and 5.78 deg2 deep layer…

Impact of Satellite Constellations on Optical Astronomy and Recommendations Toward Mitigations

The SATCON1 report concludes that the effects on astronomical research and on the human experience of the night sky range from “negligible” to “extreme” and led to recommendations for observatories and constellation operators.

The Low Earth Orbit Satellite Population and Impacts of the SpaceX Starlink Constellation

I discuss the current low Earth orbit artificial satellite population and show that the proposed “megaconstellation” of circa 12,000 Starlink Internet satellites would dominate the lower part of the…
