While the traditional statistics of impact craters allow us to determine the cumulative meteoroid flux on the lunar surface, the recent successful identification of fresh craters in orbital imagery has the potential to directly measure the cratering rate of today. Time-resolved recordings, e.g., seismic data of impacts and impact flash detections clearly demonstrate variations of the impact flux during the lunar day. ...

The Arecibo Observatory-- at nearly 1000' across--is the world's largest radio and radar telescope. Located in northwestern Puerto Rico, the original facility was built 40+ years ago, but it underwent major upgrades in the 1970s and in 1997-99. ... The observatory operates with a staff of about 125 and a yearly budget of about $12M, 5/6ths of which comes from NSF-astronomy and most of the remainder from NSF-atmospheres. ... This will extend the telescope's life by 20-30 years. ...

... This task converts an EPIC PN raw events file (produced by epframes and badpix ) into a calibrated event list with flagged trailing events and corrected for gain variations of the preamplifier channels and charge transfer inefficiency (CTI). It performs a pattern analysis to identify and recombine split events and converts the raw unlinearized detector coordinates into corresponding physical locations. ...
