The Halos and Environments of Nearby Galaxies (HERON) survey IV. Complexity in the boxy galaxies NGC720 and NGC2768

The shapes of galaxies, their outer regions in particular, are important guideposts to their formation and evolution. In this work, we report on the discovery of strongly box-shaped morphologies of the otherwise well-studied elliptical and lenticular galax ...

Early chemical enrichment of the Milky Way dwarf satellites from high-resolution and NLTE analysis of VMP stars

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

We present the NLTE abundances of 10 chemical species in 65 very metal-poor stars in eight dSphs and the Milky Way halo. The classical dSphs Sculptor, Ursa Minor, Sextans, and Fornax reveal a similar plateau at [alpha/Fe] = 0.3 for each of Mg, Ca, and Ti, ...

Wideband Cavity-Backed CubeSat Antenna in S band

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

The Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) antennas are a crucial component of small satellites, as their in-orbit attitude is not always well-defined. The TT&C antenna design for a CubeSat is an even more challenging task, considering the volume restricti ...

The formation of the Milky Way halo and its dwarf satellites; a NLTE-1D abundance analysis

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

We present a homogeneous set of accurate atmospheric parameters for a complete sample of very and extremely metal-poor stars in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) Sculptor, Ursa Minor, Sextans, Fornax, Botes I, Ursa Major II, and Leo IV. We also deliver ...

Low-profile multi-function antenna system for small satellites

Juan Ramon Mosig, Frédéric Bongard, Pedro Robustillo Bayon, Nevena Saponjic, Tomislav Debogovic, Ferdinando Tiezzi

A low-profile multi-function antenna system suitable for small satellites is presented in this paper. The antenna system operates at UHF frequency band (400 MHz) and comprises eight miniaturised radiating elements (REs) based on a folded planar inverted-F ...

Tunable radiator for small satellite application

Jean-Daniel Landis, Frédéric Bongard, Pedro Robustillo Bayon, Nevena Saponjic, Tomislav Debogovic, Mikaël Krummen

A tunable radiator for space application has been developed to meet stringent requirements in terms of electrical and environmental specifications but also low mass, simple manufacturing and low cost. The element is based on the folded PIFA antenna, with s ...

The CORALIE survey for southern extrasolar planets XVI. Discovery of a planetary system around HD 147018 and of two long period and massive planets orbiting HD 171238 and HD 204313

We report the detection of a double planetary system around HD 140718 as well as the discovery of two long period and massive planets orbiting HD 171238 and HD 204313. Those discoveries were made with the CORALIE Echelle spectrograph mounted on the 1.2-m E ...

MEMS for space

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Herbert Shea, Sebastian Gautsch, Wilfried Noell

Future space exploration will emphasize on cost effectiveness and highly focused mission objectives. Missions costs are directly proportional to its total weight, thus, the trend will be to replace bulky and heavy components of space carriers, communicatio ...

Fabrication and Testing of a MEMS Based Earth Sensor

Herbert Shea, Kaustav Ghose

We present a novel MEMS inertial sensor that directly measures the gravity gradient in order to sense the relative orientation of a satellite with respect to the Earth. An Earths ensor provides an orbiting satellite with a vector towards the Earth center. ...

MEMS for pico- to micro-satellites

Herbert Shea

MEMS sensors, actuators, and sub-systems can enable an important reduction in the size and mass of spacecrafts, first by replacing larger and heavier components, then by replacing entire subsystems, and finally by enabling the microfabrication of highly in ...

How to find a dark matter sterile neutrino?

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Igor Tkachev

We propose a strategy for how to look for dark matter particles possessing a radiative decay channel and derive constraints on their parameters from observations of x rays from our own Galaxy and its dwarf satellites. When applied to sterile neutrinos in t ...
