Mercury's Surface in Exaggerated Color . ... Messenger's cameras have recorded detailed pictures utilizing eight different colors across visible and near infrared light , exploring the surface composition and looking for clues to the history and evolution of the solar system's innermost planet. This sharp image combines three of the MESSENGER wide angle camera's colors, but in exaggerated fashion. Otherwise, to the unaided human eye, Mercury's surface colors would appear comparatively muted . ...

The halves could be either ordered by rot-angle (e.g. 0-180 together, 180-360 together), or totally random. ...

... In collaborative work with David Garc?a Alvarez (an Observatory PhD student now at Harvard) and John Butler, an extensive study of the RS CVn binary HR1099 was completed leading to two papers; the first on Doppler imaging and the second on flare activity. Spectra for the Doppler imaging were taken at two different sites, Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), Arizona, and Mount Stromlo Observatory (MSO), Australia, during the 1998 MUltiSIte COntinuous Spectroscopic (MUSICOS) campaign. ...
