In this paper, we present the project of the heliogyro solar sail unit for deployment of CubeSat constellation and satellite deorbiting. The ballistic calculations show that constellation deployment period can vary from 0.18 years for 450km…

The advent of large astronomical surveys has made available large and complex data sets. However, the process of discovery and interpretation of each potentially new astronomical source is, many times, still handcrafted. In this context,…

Millimetron is a space observatory for millimeter and sub-millimeter observations planned for launch around 2030. The 10-meter diameter space unfolded telescope will be cooled down to 10~K and operated in the vicinity of Lagrange point L2.…

Tilt-to-length (TTL) coupling is expected to be one of the major noise sources in the interferometric phase readouts in TianQin mission. Arising from the angular motion of spacecraft (SC) and the onboard movable optical subassemblies…

Most research on astrophysical lensing has been conducted using the geometric optics framework, where there exists a clear concept of lensing images. However, wave optics effects can be important for coherent sources, e.g. pulsars, fast…

We present a data reduction pipeline (DRP) for Keck/NIRSPEC built as an addition to the PypeIt Python package. The DRP is capable of reducing multi-order echelle data taken both before and after the detector upgrade in 2018. As part of…

The wolensing Python package offers a solution for gravitational wave lensing computations within the full wave-optics regime. This tool is primarily designed to calculate the gravitational lensing amplification factor including diffractive…

Here we present several use cases for using Generative AI (Gen AI) to improve systems engineering and cognitive knowledge management related to the future of astronomy from a culmination of working meetings and presentations as part of the…

The High Energy Modular Array (HEMA) is one of three instruments that compose the STROBE-X mission concept. The HEMA is a large-area, high-throughput non-imaging pointed instrument based on the Large Area Detector developed as part of the…

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are standarizable candles whose observed light curves can be used to infer their distances, which can in turn be used in cosmological analyses. As the quantity of observed SNe Ia grows with current and upcoming…

The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time will discover thousands of microlensing events across the Milky Way Galaxy, allowing for the study of populations of exoplanets, stars, and compact objects. We evaluate numerous survey…

With the new discoveries enabled thanks to the recent space missions, stellar physics is going through a revolution. However, these discoveries opened the door to many new questions that require more observations. The European Space…

In recent astronomical discussions, attempts have been made to link the known dwarf nova Z Cam to historical celestial events, particularly the "guest star" phenomenon reported in China in 77 BCE. Despite other suggestions and the problems…

Orbiting space objects have become in the last decade a major nuisance impacting ground astronomy and orbiting space assets, from observatories to satellites and space stations. In particular with the rise of the satellite population in Low…

The Gamma-ray Module (GMOD) is an experiment designed for the detection of gamma-ray bursts in low Earth orbit as the principal scientific payload on a 2-U CubeSat, EIRSAT-1. GMOD comprises a cerium bromide scintillator coupled to silicon…

SNAD is an international project with a primary focus on detecting astronomical anomalies within large-scale surveys, using active learning and other machine learning algorithms. The work carried out by SNAD not only contributes to the…

Spectroscopic observations of exoplanet atmospheres can reveal the chemical composition, temperature, cloud properties, and (potentially) the habitability of these distant worlds. The inference of such properties is generally enabled by…

A crucial component of the high-contrast instrumental chain in astronomy is the wavefront sensor (WFS). A key property of this component is its sensitivities, which reflect its ability to efficiently use incoming photons to encode the phase…

The Chasing All Transients Constellation Hunters (CATCH) space mission is focused on exploring the dynamic universe via X-ray follow-up observations of various transients. The first pathfinder of the CATCH mission, CATCH-1, was launched on…

In this communication, we report on the results of the second phase of the Exoplanet Imaging Data Challenge started in 2019. This second phase focuses on the characterization of point sources (exoplanet signals) within multispectral…
