Planets and planet candidates are subjected to great investigation in recent years. In this study, we analyse 20 planet and planet-candidate host stars at different evolutionary phases. We construct stellar interior models of the host stars…
I present a discussion of fundamental stellar parameters and their observational determination in the context of interferometric measurements with current and future optical/infrared interferometric facilities. Stellar parameters and the…
Modern global navigation satellite system receivers can access signals from several satellite constellations (including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou). Once these constellations are all fully operational, a typical receiver can expect to…
Collision avoidance is a topic of growing importance for any satellite orbiting Earth. Especially those satellites without thrusting capabilities face the problem of not being able to perform impulsive collision avoidance manoeuvres. For…
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are emerging as a key component of non-terrestrial networks due to their low-latency and high-capacity communication capabilities. However, satellites in these orbits are characterized by a…
Issues with tracking, precision pointing, and Doppler shift are the major sources of performance loss in laser inter-satellite communication that can severely decrease the coverage and overall performance of satellite constellations. As a…
Observations have revealed that the MW, Andromeda, Centaurus A (and potentially other galaxies) host spatially thin and kinematically coherent planes of satellites. Such structures are highly improbable within the standard LCDM cosmological…
Distances to AGB stars with optically thick circumstellar shells cannot be determined using optical parallaxes. However, for stars with OH 1612 MHz maser emission emanating from their circumstellar shells, distances can be determined by the…
The spatial distribution of satellite galaxies around host galaxies can illuminate the relationship between satellites and dark matter subhalos and aid in developing and testing galaxy formation models. Previous efforts to constrain the…
Dense satellite constellations recently emerged as a prominent solution to complementing terrestrial networks in attaining true global coverage. As such, analytic optimization techniques can be adopted to rapidly maximize the benefits of…
The proliferation of space debris in LEO has become a major concern for the space industry. With the growing interest in space exploration, the prediction of potential collisions between objects in orbit has become a crucial issue. It is…
Phased formations of satellites provide an important means of keeping multiple satellites in close proximity without becoming dangerously close to one another. In order to minimize the amount of propellant necessary to keep a set of…
Variability in the time series brightness of a star on a timescale of 8 hours, known as 'flicker', has been previously demonstrated to serve as a proxy for the surface gravity of a star by Bastien et al. (2013). Although surface gravity is…
The uplink from a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) towards multiple satellites is considered, in this paper. VSATs can be equipped with multiple antennas, allowing parallel transmission to multiple satellites. A low-complexity precoder…
A methodology is presented for the differential drag control of a large fleet of propulsion-less satellites deployed in the same orbit. The controller places satellites into a constellation with specified angular offsets and zero-relative…
In this paper, we address the problem of optimizing signal constellations for strong phase noise. The problem is investigated by considering three optimization formulations, which provide an analytical framework for constellation design. In…
The wavelength dependence of interstellar polarization due to dust in M31 has been observed along four sightlines. Only one sightline had been measured previously.The globular clusters, S78, S150, S233 and Baade 327 were used as point…
Thousands of satellites, asteroids, and rocket bodies break, collide, or degrade, resulting in large amounts of space debris in low Earth orbit. The presence of space debris poses a serious threat to satellite mega-constellations and to…
Context. The modelling of chemical transport mechanisms is crucial for accurate stellar characterizations. Atomic diffusion is one of these processes and it is commonly included in stellar models. However, it is usually neglected for F-type…
Variations in stellar flux can potentially overwhelm the photometric signal of a transiting planet. Such variability has not previously been well-characterized in the ultraviolet lines used to probe the inflated atmospheres surrounding hot…
