(2013-07-22)Martian clouds and dust play an important part of the radiative transfer and energy balance budget. To assist in fully understanding the impact of clouds and dust, the complete diurnal cycle needs to be characterized. One ...

(2012-07-11)Atmospheric opacity, otherwise known as optical depth, is the measurement of the amount of radiation reaching the surface through the atmosphere. The spatial and temporal patterns in optical depth tell us about the aerosol ...

The Nature of Supernovae Progenitors and Interstellar Dust: Light Echoes Around Type Ia Supernovae (2017-06-08)Incomprehensive knowledge on dust is hindering our study of the universe. For example, the type Ia supernovae (SNe) cosmology requires better estimation of interstellar extinction to reduce systematic uncertainties. The ...
