Abstract Most recent studies of crater morphometry on Mars have addressed large craters ( D >5 km) using elevation models derived from laser altimetry. In the present work, we examine a global population small (25 m ≤ ≤5 km), relatively well‐preserved simple impact HiRISE stereo‐derived models. We find that scaling laws prior generally overestimate depth and volume at diameters. show rim curvature exhibits strong diameter dependence is well‐described by for <1 km. Above this diameter,...
The Palomar Radial Velocity Instrument (PARVI) is a J & H band, high resolution (R∼80,000) spectrograph on the Hale 5.08-m telescope at Observatory. PARVI stabilized, single-mode fiber-fed spectrometer designed to search for small rocky planets in habitable zones of late-type stars. one first radial velocity (RV) instruments employ fibers (SMF) instead more common multi-mode (MMF). SMFs provide number advantages over MMFs. In particular, they only allow spatial mode light propagate,...

Abstract Ground-based Precision Radial Velocity (PRV) measurements are inevitably impeded by contamination from telluric absorption features, particularly in the infrared region. Thus, it is crucial to improve modeling of features down spectral noise level. As part efforts towards improved PRV measurements, we have taken an existing atmospheric trace gas retrieval algorithm (GFIT) and successfully adapted fit stellar spectra level (typically ∼1%). We established a fitting processing...
