  • Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: a comparison of observable and simulated intracluster light fractions
    Intracluster light (ICL) provides an important record of the interactions galaxy clusters have undergone. However, we are limited in our understanding by our measurement methods. To address this, we measure the fraction of cluster light that is held in the Brightest Cluster Galaxy and ICL (BCG+ICL fraction) and the ICL alone (ICL fraction) using

  • Pointing Calibration of GroundBIRD Telescope Using Moon Observation Data
    Understanding telescope pointing (i.e. line of sight) is important for observing the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and astronomical objects. The Moon is a candidate astronomical source for pointing calibration. Although the visible size of the Moon (30') is larger than that of the planets, we can frequently observe the Moon once a month with a

  • Planet formation around intermediate-mass stars. I. Different disc evolutionary pathways as a function of stellar mass
    Context. The study of protoplanetary disc evolution and theories of planet formation has predominantly concentrated on solar- (and low-) mass stars since they host the majority of confirmed exoplanets. Nevertheless, the confirmation of numerous planets orbiting stars more massive than the Sun (up to ~3 M ⊙) has sparked considerable interest in

  • Pisces VII/Triangulum III - M33's second dwarf satellite galaxy
    Pisces VII/Triangulum III (Pisc VII) was discovered in the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey and was shown to be a Local Group dwarf galaxy with follow-up imaging from the 4-m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. However, this imaging was unable to reach the horizontal branch of Pisc VII, preventing a precision distance measurement. The distance bound from the

  • Photometry of the Didymos System across the DART Impact Apparition
    On 2022 September 26, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the satellite of binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos. This demonstrated the efficacy of a kinetic impactor for planetary defense by changing the orbital period of Dimorphos by 33 minutes. Measuring the period change relied heavily on a

  • Photometric and colorimetric studies of target objects using small and medium-size telescopes
    We report on follow-up studies of transient events and objects, which have been conducted in recent years using ground-based optical observations. BVRI photometry has been performed with small and medium-sized telescopes located in Europe and North America. The purpose of these studies, which are mainly focused on objects of unknown nature, is to
