Abstract

We advocate for a mission concept study for a space telescope dedicated to solar system science in Earth orbit. Such a study was recommended by the Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Science (CAPS) report "Getting Ready for the Next Planetary Science Decadal Survey." The Mid-Decadal Review also recommended NASA to assess the role and value of space telescopes for planetary science. The need for high-resolution, UV-Visible capabilities is especially acute for planetary science with the impending end of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST); however, NASA has not funded a planetary telescope concept study, and the need to assess its value remains. Here, we present potential design options that should be explored to inform the decadal survey., Whitepaper submitted to Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey

Abstract

We present modeled images of Io at a variety of distances from the surface as a function of imager aperture size and wavelength. We consider the science objectives that could be achieved from missions engaged in long range remote-sensing of Io during the approach to the Jovian system and subsequently from orbit around Europa or Ganymede, in both the visible and near infrared wavelength ranges. We find that basic global mapping objectives in the visible can be met with a traditional 0.5 m telescope design. A more ambitious 1.5 m telescope could accomplish much more detailed objectives such as topographical measurements, and determination of flow patterns and thermal sources for individual active regions on Io.

Abstract

Astrometric detection and mass determination of Earth-mass exoplanets requires sub-microarcsec accuracy, which is theoretically possible with an imaging space telescope using field stars as an astrometric reference. The measurement must however overcome astrometric distortions which are much larger than the photon noise limit. To address this issue, we propose to generate faint stellar diffraction spikes using a two-dimensional grid of regularly spaced small dark spots added to the surface of the primary mirror (PM). Accurate astrometric motion of the host star is obtained by comparing the position of the spikes to the background field stars. The spikes do not contribute to scattered light in the central part of the field and therefore allow unperturbed coronagraphic observation of the star's immediate surrounding. Because the diffraction spikes are created on the PM and imaged on the same focal plane detector as the background stars, astrometric distortions affect equally the diffraction spikes and the background stars, and are therefore calibrated. We describe the technique, detail how the data collected by the wide-field camera are used to derive astrometric motion, and identify the main sources of astrometric error using numerical simulations and analytical derivations. We find that the 1.4 m diameter telescope, 0.3 sq.deg field we adopt as a baseline design achieves 0.2 microarcsec single measurement astrometric accuracy. The diffractive pupil concept thus enables sub-microarcsec astrometry without relying on the accurate pointing, external metrology or high stability hardware required with previously proposed high precision astrometry concepts., Comment: 23 pages, 15 figures. This first paper describes the diffractive pupil telescope concept for single aperture absolute astrometry (to measure exoplanets orbits and masses), compatible with high contrast imaging (to acquire exoplanet spectra / colors in reflected light)

Abstract

High precision astrometry of nearby bright stars is theoretically (in the photon noise limit) possible with a space coronagraph using a wide field diffraction limited camera imaging an annulus of background stars around the central coronagraphic field. With the sub-micro arcsecond accuracy theoretically achievable on a 1.4-m telescope, the mass of all planets that can be imaged by the coronagraph would be estimated. Simultaneous imaging and astrometric measurements would reduce the number of astrometric measurements necessary for mass determination, and reduce confusion between multiple planets and possible exozodiacal clouds in the coronagraphic image. While scientifically attractive, this measurement is technically very challenging, and must overcome astrometric distortions, which, in conventional telescopes, are several orders of magnitude above the photon noise limit. In this paper, we propose a new approach to calibrating astrometric distortions in the wide field imaging camera. The astrometric measurement is performed by simultaneously imaging background stars and diffraction spikes from the much brighter coronagraphic target on the same focal plane array. The diffraction spikes are generated by a series of small dark spots on the primary mirror to reduce sensitivity to optical and mechanical distortions. Small scale distortions and detector errors are averaged down to sub-micro arcsecond by rolling the telescope around the line of sight. A preliminary error budget is shown and discussed to identify major sources of error for a 1.4-m telescope imaging a 0.25 squaredeg field of view at the galactic pole.

Abstract

Three dimensional imaging of planetary and lunar surfaces has traditionally been the purview of Synthetic Aperture Radar payloads. We propose an active imaging technique that utilizes laser frequency diversity coupled with spatial heterodyne imaging. Spatial heterodyne imaging makes use of a local oscillator which encodes pupil plane object information on a carrier frequency. The object information is extracted via Fourier analysis. Snapshots of the encoded pupil plane information are acquired as the frequency of the illumination laser is varied in small steps (GHz). The resulting three-dimensional data cube is processed to provide angle-angle-range information. The range resolution can be adjusted from microns to meters simply by adjusting the range over which the illuminator laser frequency is varied. The proposed technique can provide fine resolution contour maps of planetary surfaces having widely varying characteristics of importance to science exploration, such as the search for astrobiological habitat niches near the surface of heavily irradiated Europa. This information can be used to better understand the geological processes that form the surface features, and help characterize candidate potential habitat sites on the surface of Europa and other planetary bodies of interest. In this paper we present simulations and experimental data that demonstrate the concept.

Abstract

Lockheed Martin is developing an innovative and adaptable optical telescope comprised of an array of nine identical afocal sub-telescopes. Inherent in the array design is the ability to perform high-resolution broadband imaging, Fizeau Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS) imaging, and single exposure multi-spectral and polarimetric imaging. Additionally, the sensor suite's modular design integrates multiple science packages for active and passive sensing from 0.4 to 14 microns. We describe the opto-mechanical design of our concept, the Multiple Instrument Distributed Aperture Sensor (MIDAS), and a selection of passive and active remote sensing missions it fulfills.

Abstract

We describe the Multiple Instrument Distributed Aperture Sensor (MIDAS) concept, an innovative approach to future planetary science mission remote sensing that enables order of magnitude increased science return. MIDAS provides a large-aperture, wide-field, diffraction-limited telescope at a fraction of the cost, mass and volume of conventional space telescopes, by integrating advanced optical interferometry technologies. All telescope optical assemblies are integrated into MIDAS as the primary remote sensing science payload, thereby reducing the cost, resources, complexity, I&T and risks of a set of back-end science instruments (SI's) tailored to a specific mission. MIDAS interfaces to multiple science instruments, enabling sequential and concurrent functional modes, thereby expanding the potential planetary science return many fold. Passive imaging modes with MIDAS enable remote sensing at diffraction-limited resolution sequentially by each science instrument, or at lower resolution by multiple science instruments acting concurrently on the image, such as in different wavebands. Our MIDAS concept inherently provides nanometer-resolution hyperspectral passive imaging without the need for any moving parts in the science instruments. For planetary science missions, the MIDAS optical design provides high-resolution imaging for long dwell times at high altitudes, thereby enabling real-time, wide-area remote sensing of dynamic surface characteristics. In its active remote sensing modes, using an integrated solid-state laser source, MIDAS enables LIDAR, vibrometry, surface illumination, and various active or ablative spectroscopies. Our concept is scalable to apertures well over 10m, achieved by autonomous deployments or manned assembly in space. MIDAS is a proven candidate for future planetary science missions, enabled by our continued investments in focused MIDAS technology development areas. In this paper we present the opto-mechanical design for a 1.5m MIDAS point design, including its accommodation of back-end science instruments.

Abstract

High-precision astrometry can identify exoplanets and measure their orbits and masses, while coronagraphic imaging enables detailed characterization of their physical properties and atmospheric compositions through spectroscopy. In a previous paper, we showed that a diffractive pupil telescope (DPT) in space can enable sub-microarcsecond accuracy astrometric measurements from wide-field images by creating faint but sharp diffraction spikes around the bright target star. The DPT allows simultaneous astrometric measurement and coronagraphic imaging, and we discuss and quantify in this paper the scientific benefits of this combination for exoplanet science investigations: identification of exoplanets with increased sensitivity and robustness, and ability to measure planetary masses to high accuracy. We show how using both measurements to identify planets and measure their masses offers greater sensitivity and provides more reliable measurements than possible with separate missions, and therefore results in a large gain in mission efficiency. The combined measurements reliably identify potentially habitable planets in multiple systems with a few observations, while astrometry or imaging alone would require many measurements over a long time baseline. In addition, the combined measurement allows direct determination of stellar masses to percent-level accuracy, using planets as test particles. We also show that the DPT maintains the full sensitivity of the telescope for deep wide-field imaging, and is therefore compatible with simultaneous scientific observations unrelated to exoplanets. We conclude that astrometry, coronagraphy, and deep wide-field imaging can be performed simultaneously on a single telescope without significant negative impact on the performance of any of the three techniques., Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures. This second paper, following the paper describing the diffractive pupil telescope (DPT) astrometric technique, shows how simultaneous astrometry and coronagraphy observations, enabled by the DPT concept, constrain the orbital parameters and mass of exoplanets

Abstract

This article examines the short-lived 1950s American sport diplomacy campaign in Iran. It analyses the motives behind this policy, the initiatives employed and the extent to which US policymakers regarded them as a success. The piece illustrates how these sport diplomacy initiatives - centred on track, field and other Olympic events - comprised a key facet of a broader public diplomacy campaign aimed at countering negative popular perceptions of the United States in the wake of its involvement in the August 1953 coup. Notable initiatives included the sending of former high-jumper David Albritton to coach Iranian athletes, inviting several US athletes to perform exhibitions and the creation of a newspaper sports supplement. This sport diplomacy campaign, however, was fleeting. With no figure willing to replace Albritton after his 1957 return to Ohio, USIS figures in Iran increasingly relied on cultural initiatives to engage with the general public. The analysis here highlights four key points: first, sport diplomacy's pivotal function as a tool to strengthen and develop US-Iran relations; second, the role of certain individuals in making and shaping these initiatives; third, the Iranian government's conduct in facilitating these policies; and finally, that USIS sport diplomacy in Iran was a short-term endeavour.

14. Lifting 'Round the World': The Goodwill Weightlifting Tours of 1955.

Abstract

In the first visit by American athletes to the Soviet Union since World War II, the U.S. weightlifting team included 340-pound Paul Anderson who startled the sports world in June of 1955 by pressing a world record 402 pounds, exceeding that of his Soviet adversary by 77 pounds. The admiration evoked by his colossal size and strength encouraged the State Department to send Anderson and other weightlifters on goodwill tours to counter Soviet expansionism in the Middle East and South Asia. The first tour evoked praise from President Dwight Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon, but the second tour proved disappointing when Anderson was unable to perform as expected and Coach Bob Hoffman made disparaging remarks about local customs, thus inadvertently planting seeds of ill-will. The 1955 weightlifting tours illustrated the likelihood of unanticipated consequences and limitations of using athletics as a Cold War strategy to counter Soviet influence in non-aligned countries. Previous accounts have provided chiefly macroscopic views with only a vague notion of what transpired on the ground during goodwill tours. This study provides a closer view of how they were conducted, examples of interaction between visitors and locals, and their failure to fulfil the strategic aims of the Eisenhower Administration.

Hans Dominik and Hans Dominik

Abstract

In den'Gesammelten Werken'von Hans Dominik entfaltet sich ein umfassendes Panorama seines literarischen Schaffens, das sich durch einen tiefen technischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Bezug auszeichnet. Dominik, ein Pionier der populärwissenschaftlichen Literatur im frühen 20. Jahrhundert, verbindet in seinen Erzählungen auf spannende Weise Elemente der Fiktion mit wissenschaftlichen Theorien und Entdeckungen. Sein prägnanter Stil und seine Fähigkeit, komplexe Themen verständlich zu machen, machen seine Werke sowohl für den Laien als auch für den Fachmann zugänglich. Dabei spiegelt sich die damalige Technologisierung und der wissenschaftliche Fortschritt in seinen Geschichten wider und thematisiert die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Mensch und Technik. Hans Dominik, geboren 1872 in Thüringen, war nicht nur ein vielseitiger Schriftsteller, sondern auch ein engagierter Ingenieur und Wissenschaftler. Diese Doppelrolle prägte sein literarisches Werk, das sich oft mit den moralischen und gesellschaftlichen Fragestellungen der damaligen Zeit auseinandersetzt. Dominiks Hintergrund in Ingenieurwissenschaften und seine Begeisterung für Innovationen durchdringen seine Erzählungen und verleihen ihnen Authentizität und Tiefe. Seine Intention war es, das Interesse am Ingenieurwesen zu wecken und zu zeigen, wie Technologien das Leben der Menschen beeinflussen. Die'Gesammelten Werke'sind eine hervorragende Empfehlung für alle, die sich für die Verknüpfung von Literatur und Wissenschaft interessieren. Sie laden den Leser ein, über die Herausforderungen und Chancen nachzudenken, die der technische Fortschritt mit sich bringt. Dieses Buch ist nicht nur eine Hommage an einen wichtigen Autor der deutschsprachigen Literatur, sondern auch eine Aufforderung, die eigene Beziehung zu Technologie und Wissenschaft zu reflektieren.

As telescopes become larger and more costly, other aspects such as structures, pointing, wavefront control, enclosures, and project management become just as critical. Although most of the technical knowledge required for all these?elds is available in various specialized books, journal articles, and technical reports, they are not necessarily written with application to telescopes in mind.

Now anyone who enjoys sports can turn to SEAL for well-written, authoritative essays on the lives and achievements of more than 600 athletes, coaches, team owners, sportscasters and writers. Their home run records, longest passes and fastest miles are all here, along with concise descriptions of each subjects childhood, family life, education and rise to fame. And true to Scribners high editorial quality, each original, signed essay is written to be read and enjoyed by scholars, students and casual browsers alike. What was it like for Jackie Robinson, the first black player to break the color barrier in baseball, and why was Babe Didrikson Zaharias so revolutionary for her time? What makes Tiger Woods a unique golfer? Each signed article places its subject in historical context. Photos of most subjects, bibliographies and an index by sport make this set comprehensive and easy to use.

Abstract

With over 1000 entries and 400 illustrations, this volume is the most fact-packed history of the west ever assembled. Bestselling crime historian Jay Robert Nash has left no stone unturned in his search for the gunmen, train robbers, gangs, desperadoes, range warriors, gamblers, and lawmen that roamed the frontier.Contrary to popular myth, the Wild West was not a glamorous land where chivalry and courage were the custom and a man died with his boots on. It was a land of incredible hardships—brutal weather, hunger and disease, and the constant threat of violent death. Everyone carried a six-shooter, neutrality was impossible, and violence unavoidable; lawmen and shooter, neutrality was impossible, and violence unavoidable; lawmen and outlaws lived side by side, and often there was no telling one from the other. Into this land came pioneers lured by promises of great fortunes, ex-Confederate soldiers embittered by the outcome of the war, greedy cattle barons, and merchant princes. It was truly an explosive mixture.Included in this volume are all the great Western legends—Billy the Kid, Jesse and Frank James, Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Judge Roy Bean,'Wild Bill Hickock—and a host of lesser-known figures who, though they may have missed notoriety, were equally lethal. In addition to alphabetical listings, it offers two glossaries listing the lawmen and outlaws for quick reference, a wonderful photo and illustration appendix, and an extensive bibliography of books on the American West.
