There is still a lot of science to be done with the #AreciboTelescope data archive.
Marin Ferrais, postdoc with #TeamRadar at UCF, described shape modeling of the binary near-Earth asteroid #1994AW1 using archival radar images at #SBAG today.
There is still quite a lot of new science to be done based on data from the #AreciboTelescope .

✧ Arecibo Telescope ✧
The Arecibo Telescope was a 305-meter-diameter (1,000 ft) spherical-reflector radio telescope built into a natural sinkhole at the Arecibo Observatory located near Arecibo, Puerto Rico. A cable-mount steerable receiver and several radar transmitters for emitting signals were mounted 150 meters (492 ft) above the parabolic antenna. Complete...

🚨 Advance publication by Camila Franco, Felipe Avila, and Armando Bernui, in #MNRAS on probing isotropy in the Local Universe, using the Arecibo ALFALFA survey data: study finds a signature of the Dipole Repeller we discovered back in 2017. That's just great!

Of, course, I'd feel a bit better about our odds of seeing a dangerous asteroid before it hits us if we were working to rebuild the radar capability that we lost with the #AreciboTelescope ...
... or if the night sky wasn't being cluttered with a LOT more reflective satellites, causing more confusion for the telescopes that are tasked with finding such objects. 🙃
