A survey for satellites of Venus

We present a systematic survey for satellites of Venus using the BaadeMagellan 6.5 meter telescope and IMACS wide-field CCD imager at Las Campanas observatory in Chile. In the outer portions of the Hill sphere the search was sensitive to a limiting red magnitude of about 20.4, which corresponds to satellites with radii of a few hundred meters when assuming an albedo of 0.1. In the very inner po...

VENUS: A Virtual Environment Network Using Satellites

VENUS: A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT NETWORK USING SATELLITES Sanjay K. Udani Jonathan M. Smith & David J. Farber Network access has evolved from basic text-only terminals to color graphical browsers with full-motion video capability. The next logical step of this evolution is to have fully immersive access to the network where users are no longer merely looking at a screen; instead, they will be immer...

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Tidal Dissipation in Synchronous Satellites

Introduction: Tidal heating is an important energy source for several solar system bodies, and there is a wide-spread perception that the pattern of surface heat flow is diagnostic of internal structure. We wish to clarify that situation. Our analysis depends upon two important assumptions: First, that heat transport is dominated by conduction. Second, that the body can be modeled by a sequence...
