A Survey for Outer Satellites of Mars: Limits to Completeness
We have surveyed the Hill sphere of Mars for irregular satellites. Our search covered nearly the entire Hill sphere, but scattered light from Mars excluded the inner few arcminutes where the satellites Phobos and Deimos reside. No new satellites were found to an apparent limiting red magnitude of 23.5, which corresponds to radii of about 0.09 km using an albedo of 0.07.
متن کاملUltra Deep Survey for Irregular Satellites of Uranus: Limits to Completeness
We present a deep optical survey of Uranus’ Hill sphere for small satellites. The Subaru 8-m telescope was used to survey about 3.5 square degrees with a 50% detection efficiency at limiting red magnitude mR = 26.1 mag. This magnitude corresponds to objects that are about 7 km in radius (assuming an albedo of 0.04). We detected (without prior knowledge of their positions) all previously known o...
متن کاملA Survey for “Normal” Irregular Satellites Around Neptune: Limits to Completeness
We surveyed 1.75 square degrees of sky near Neptune to an R-band 50% detection efficiency of 25.8 mags (corresponding to radii of about 17 km for an assumed albedo of 0.04). We discovered one new outer satellite, Psamathe (S/2003 N1), about 20 km in radius and having a distant retrograde orbit and moderate eccentricity. Until 2003 Neptune was only known to have two satellites which exhibited or...
متن کاملRSVP for LEO satellites
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is working on extending the traditional TCP/IP model for supporting multimedia and real-time applications on the Internet. Thus, new protocols have been developed such as the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP). At the same time, there has been a growing interest in using Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. In the near future, when the Internet with mul...
متن کاملModular Architecture for Satellites
Avionics for satellites is a market which is continuously growing in these years, especially thanks to the availability of low cost launch vectors. This cost reduction enabled many institutions (industries but also universities) to develop their own satellites. A first result of this process was the CubeSat concept: a really small satellite, built using low cost Commercial Off The Shelf compone...
