A Study of Teleoperation Methods in a Simulated Virtual Eye Surgery Environment
This paper examines the performance of Inside and Outside Control modes at various scaling factors in a simulated vitreoretinal surgical setting. The IRISS teleoperated surgical system's console (cockpit) was adapted to project a simulated microscope view of an intraocular setup to a virtual reality (VR) headset. Five experienced vitreoretinal surgeons and five engineers with no surgical experience used the system to perform tasks common to vitreoretinal surgery. Experimental results indicate t…

Hot Rocks Survey IV: Emission from LTT 3780 b is consistent with a bare rock
It is an open question whether small planets around M dwarfs are able to maintain atmospheres. The Hot Rocks Survey aims to address this question by observing 9 rocky exoplanets orbiting M dwarfs with MIRI emission photometry to constrain the onset of atmospheres. In this paper, we present two MIRI F1500W (15$μ$m) eclipses of LTT 3780 b, an ultra-short period super-Earth ($P=0.768$ d, $R=1.325 \,R_\oplus$, $M = 2.46\,M_\oplus$) that receives 111x Earth's instellation, the highest in the survey…
