The Michigan Orbital DEbris Survey Telescope (MODEST) is normally used to survey the geosynchronous orbit (GEO) environment to obtain a statistical assessment of the debris population. Due to the short time that the object is in the field-of-view (us

We report on low-spectral resolution observations of comet 9P/Tempel 1 from 1983, 1989, 1994 and 2005 using the 2.7m Harlan J. Smith telescope of McDonald Observatory. This comet was the target of NASA's Deep Impact mission and our observations allow

Narrowband reflectance spectra (0.53–1.0 μm) of Iapetus' leading and trailing sides were obtained in 2000 to test the presence of an absorption feature located near 0.67 μm seen in reflectance spectra of Iapetus' dark material and Hyperion's surf

We have measured the column density profile of Io's sodium corona using 10 mutual eclipses between the Galilean satellites. This approach circumvents the problem of spatially resolving Io's corona directly from Io's bright continuum in the presence o

The impact of the Lunar Prospector spacecraft in a lunar polar crater was used in an (unsuccessful) attempt to detect the release of vapor from volatilized water ice. The short-time evolution of such an impulsively produced atmosphere is discussed. T

Lunar Prospector data support the contention that water ice reservoirs exist in the permanently shaded craters near the lunar poles. Yet the question remains whether the detected hydrogen abundance is actually water ice or is hydrogen in some other f

A sensitive search for potential atomic neutrals in Io's extended atmosphere and torus was made using the 2.1-m telescope at McDonald Observatory. Although no new atomic species were detected, our observation put stricter upper limits on many neutral

Simultaneous light curves of the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 fragment R and V impacts were measured with the McDonald Observatory 2.7 m and 0.8 m telescopes, at wavelengths of 2.12 μm and 0.893 μm, respectively. The R impact was clearly detected at 2.12

Very-high spectral resolution observations of the neutral Na emission have enabled measurements of the velocity dispersions of the Na atoms within ∼40,000 km of the opto center of Hale-Bopp. Asymmetric Na D line profiles imply both an in situ or co

We observed slected mutual occultations of Jupiter's satellites in 1990-1991 and we used the occultation profiles to constrain the areal distribution of selected spectrally active compounds on Io's surface.
