Nadia Zakamska and her team observed J0705+0612 with Gemini South in Chile, the 3.5-meter Apache Point Observatory telescope, and the 6.5-meter Magellan telescope.
Combining data from DECam MAGIC, the Magellan/Baade telescope, and the ESO Very Large Telescope, the team found that PicII-503 has the lowest iron and calcium abundances ever measured outside the Milky Way.
The available Magellan data allow confirmation and measurement only of the section of the cavity near the identified skylight.
The study published in Nature Communications relies on Synthetic Aperture Radar data collected between 1990 and 1992 by the Magellan spacecraft.
The team examined Magellan images of Nyx Mons and found clear signatures of a large subsurface cavity associated with a surface pit.
The study analyzed Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images collected by NASA's Magellan spacecraft between 1990 and 1992 to search for subsurface conduits on Venus.
The observing campaign for J0705+0612 included the Gemini South telescope on Cerro Pachon, the Apache Point Observatory 3.5-meter telescope, and the 6.5-meter Magellan Telescopes.
WISPIT 2b was spotted for the first time using the University of Arizona's MagAO-X extreme adaptive optics system at the Magellan 2 Telescope in Chile.
The results were produced as part of the Magellan and GANYDEM170 projects.
The Magellan project, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), aims to develop highly efficient millimeter-wave GaN power amplifiers for GEO and LEO active antenna applications.
In April 2024, Canada’s Department of National Defence signed a $900,000 contract option with Magellan to add a companion nanosatellite to the Redwing mission.
