One of my on-going research interests concerns the dust shells of proto-planetary nebulae or PPNs (also called pre-planetary nebulae, transition objects, and post-AGB objects in the literature; the latter term also applies to a wider selection of objects such as RV Tauri stars), especially the carbon-rich ones that show the unidentified "21 micron' emission feature. ... I am working to find a complete sample of proto-planetary nebulae in these satellite galaxies from the millions of detected stars. ...

... In Fast mode, because of telemetry constraints, the shift-and-add performed on the spacecraft in IMAGE mode is applied to FAST mode data on the ground. ... In IMAGE mode the DPU shift-and-add procedure is applied after every tracking frame integration, 10-20 seconds. ... The drift-corrected OM Fast mode event list file is passed to OMFASTFLAT which uses the OM in-orbit flatfield and the RAWX/RAWY values of the event list to flatfield the event list on an event by event basis. ...

We observed comet 8P/Tuttle at Arecibo from 2007 December 29.9 to 2008 January 05.9 The first four days were passive OH observations, and the last four were mostly S-Band radar. We split the time about evenly between CW and 2- s (300-m) imaging. ... In the image below, each panel is a sum of about 25 minutes of data. Based on the rotation seen last night, we did imaging at the beginning and the end of the track to maximize rotation coverage, with CW in the middle. ...
