    PPS02-25 JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2017 Hayabusa2 and the formation of the Solar System *Sei-ichiro WATANABE1,2, Hayabusa2 Science Team2 1. Division of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Nagoya University, 2. JAXA/ISAS Explorations of small solar system bodies bring us direct and unique information about the formation and evolution of the Solar system. Asteroids may preserve accretion processes of planetesimals or pebbles, a sequence of destructive events induced by the gas-driven migration of giant planets, and hydrothermal processes on the parent bodies. After successful small-body missions like Rosetta to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, Dawn to Vesta and Ceres, and New Horizons to Pluto, two spacecraft Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx are now traveling to dark primitive asteroids.The Hayabusa2 spacecraft journeys to a C-type near-earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu (1999 JU3) to conduct detailed remote sensing observations and return samples from the surface. The Haybusa2 spacecraft developed by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) was successfully launched on 3 Dec. 2014 by the H-IIA Launch Vehicle and performed an Earth swing-by on 3 Dec. 2015 to set it on a course toward its target. The spacecraft will reach Ryugu in the summer of 2018, observe the asteroid for 18 months, and sample surface materials from up to three different locations. The samples will be delivered to the Earth in Nov.-Dec. 2020. Ground-based observations have obtained a variety of optical reflectance spectra for Ryugu. Some reported the 0.7 μm absorption feature and steep slope in the short wavelength region, suggesting hydrated minerals.

  • Analysis and Measurement of Horn Antennas for CMB Experiments
    Analysis and Measurement of Horn Antennas for CMB Experiments Ian Mc Auley (M.Sc. B.Sc.) A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Maynooth University Department of Experimental Physics, Maynooth University, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland. October 2015 Head of Department Professor J.A. Murphy Research Supervisor Professor J.A. Murphy Abstract In this thesis the author's work on the computational modelling and the experimental measurement of millimetre and sub-millimetre wave horn antennas for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments is presented. This computational work particularly concerns the analysis of the multimode channels of the High Frequency Instrument (HFI) of the European Space Agency (ESA) Planck satellite using mode matching techniques to model their farfield beam patterns. To undertake this analysis the existing in-house software was upgraded to address issues associated with the stability of the simulations and to introduce additional functionality through the application of Single Value Decomposition in order to recover the true hybrid eigenfields for complex corrugated waveguide and horn structures. The farfield beam patterns of the two highest frequency channels of HFI (857 GHz and 545 GHz) were computed at a large number of spot frequencies across their operational bands in order to extract the broadband beams. The attributes of the multimode nature of these channels are discussed including the number of propagating modes as a function of frequency. A detailed analysis of the possible effects of manufacturing tolerances of the long corrugated triple horn structures on the farfield beam patterns of the 857 GHz horn antennas is described in the context of the higher than expected sidelobe levels detected in some of the 857 GHz channels during flight.

We present the Cryogenic-Aperture Large Infrared-Submillimeter Telescope Observatory (CALISTO), a 5-meter class, space-borne telescope actively cooled to T 4 K, emphasizing moderate-resolution spec- ∼ troscopy in the crucial 35 to 600 µm band. CALISTO will enable NASA and the world to study the rise of heavy elements in the Universe’s first billion years, chart star formation and black hole growth in dust-obscured galaxies through cosmic time, and conduct a census of forming planetary systems in our region of the Galaxy. CALISTO will capitalize on rapid progress in both format and sensitivity of far-IR detectors. Arrays with a total count of a few arXiv:1505.05551v1 [astro-ph.IM] 20 May 2015 105 detector pixels will form the heart of a suite of imaging spectrometers in which each detector reaches the photon × background limit.

Science observations and analyses require rigorous instrument calibration. In order to meet this requirement, we have conducted extensive inflight observations during the 3.5 years of cruise after the launch of Hayabusa2 on 3 December 2014. In addition to the first inflight calibrations by Suzuki et al. (2018), we conducted an additional series of calibrations, including read- out smear, electronic-interference noise, bias, dark current, hot pixels, sensitivity, linearity, flat-field, and stray light measurements for the ONC.
