Thermal Modelling of Mercury with Roughness and Topography: Comparison with Mariner 10 IRR and Predictions for BepiColombo MERTIS Open
The Mercury Radiometer and Infrared Spectrometer (MERTIS) on board the BepiColombo mission [1,2] will map Mercury’s thermal emission at high resolution. In preparation for its arrival at Mercury, we develop a thermal model that accou…

Growth, Viability, and Death of Planktonic and Biofilm <i>Sphingomonas desiccabilis</i> in Simulated Martian Brines Open
Aqueous solutions on Mars are theorized to contain very different ion compositions than those on Earth. To determine the effect of such solutions on typical environmental micro-organisms, which could be released from robotic spacecraft or …

A optical fiber double scrambler and mechanical agitator system for the Keck planet finder spectrograph Open
We present the design and test results of a double-scrambler and fiber agitator system for the Keck Planet Finder (KPF) spectrograph. The mechanical agitator for modal noise suppression is constructed from two linear stages with the fibers…
