Neutron-Capture Elements in the Early Galaxy: Insights from a Large Sample of Metal-poor Giants

TL;DR: In this article, a large sample of metal-poor giants from the Bond survey is presented, and the abundances of eight n-capture elements (Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Nd, Eu, and Dy) in 43 stars have been derived from blue and red spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photometric Observations Constraining the Size, Shape, and Albedo of 2003 EL61, a Rapidly Rotating, Pluto-sized Object in the Kuiper Belt

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral reflectance, rotational light curve, and solar phase curve of 2003 EL61 were measured at optical wavelengths of the Kuiper Belt object at 51 AU from the Sun, revealing an unambiguous, double-peaked light curve with period 3.9154 ± 0.0002 hr and peak-to-peak amplitude 0.28 − 0.04 mag.
Journal ArticleDOI

Titan's Clouds from Gemini and Keck Adaptive Optics Imaging

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used adaptive optics on the Gemini and Keck II telescopes to find a thin haze and discrete clouds in Titan's south polar troposphere, and they suggested that convection within this haze layer triggers methane condensation; subsequent latent heat release leads to vigorous convection and formation of transient clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methane and ethane on the bright Kuiper Belt object 2005 FY9

TL;DR: The spectrum of the bright Kuiper Belt object 2005 FY9 from 0.34 to 2.5μm is dominated by the red coloring of many outer solar system objects in the optical wavelength regime and by absorption due to methane in the near-infrared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of the coordinated ground-based observations of Titan during the Huygens mission

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of ground-based observations of Titan during the Huygens atmospheric probe mission at Titan is presented, connecting the momentary in situ observations by the probe with the synoptic coverage provided by continuing ground based programs.
