NEOWISE Observations Of The Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (99942) Apophis
Akash Satpathy, Amy Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero +6
Large potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) are capable of causing a global catastrophe in the event of a planetary collision. Thus, rapid assessment of such an object's physical…
Behavioral Characteristics and CO+CO2 Production Rates of Halley-Type Comets Observed by NEOWISE
Joshua D. Rosser, James M. Bauer, Amy K. Mainzer +8
From the entire dataset of comets observed by NEOWISE, we have analyzed 11 different Halley-Type Comets (HTCs) for dust production rates, CO+CO2 production rates, and nucleus sizes…
WISE/NEOWISE Preliminary Analysis and Highlights of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Near Nucleus Environs
James M. Bauer, Emily Kramer, A. K. Mainzer +15
On January 18-19 and June 28-29 of 2010, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) spacecraft imaged the Rosetta mission target, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We present a…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
The emergence of giant multicaloric phenomena near room temperature
Tapas Samanta, Pol Lloveras, Ahmad Us Saleheen +9
Caloric responses (temperature changes) can be induced in solid-state materials by applying external stimuli such as stress, pressure, and electric and magnetic fields. The magneti…
Towards Efficient Detection of Small Near-Earth Asteroids Using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF)
Quanzhi Ye, Frank J. Masci, Hsing Wen Lin +23
We describe ZStreak, a semi-real-time pipeline specialized in detecting small, fast-moving near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that is currently operating on the data from the newly-commis…
The NEOWISE-Discovered Comet Population and the CO+CO2 production rates
James M. Bauer, Rachel Stevenson, Emily Kramer +19
The 163 comets observed during the WISE/NEOWISE prime mission represent the largest infrared survey to date of comets, providing constraints on dust, nucleus sizes, and CO+CO2 prod…
Centaurs and Scattered Disk Objects in the Thermal Infrared: Analysis of WISE/NEOWISE Observations
James M. Bauer, Tommy Grav, Erin Blauvelt +22
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observed 52 Centaurs and Scattered Disk Objects in the thermal infrared, including the 15 discoveries that were new. We present analy…
WISE/NEOWISE observations of Active Bodies in the Main Belt
James M. Bauer, A. K. Mainzer, Tommy Grav +22
We report results based on mid-infrared photometry of 5 active main belt objects (AMBOs) detected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) spacecraft. Four of these bodies…
NEOWISE: Observations of the Irregular Satellites of Jupiter and Saturn
Tommy Grav, James M. Bauer, Amy K. Mainzer +5
We present thermal model fits for 11 Jovian and 3 Saturnian irregular satellites based on measurements from the WISE/NEOWISE dataset. Our fits confirm spacecraft-measured diameters…
