Triplicity and Physical Characteristics of Asteroid (216) Kleopatra
Pascal Descamps, F. Marchis, J. Berthier +16
To take full advantage of the September 2008 opposition passage of the M-type asteroid (216) Kleopatra, we have used near-infrared adaptive optics (AO) imaging with the W.M. Keck I…
Mid-Infrared Spectrophotometric Observations of Fragments B and C of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3
David E. Harker, Charles E. Woodward, Michael S. Kelley +4
We present mid-infrared spectra and images from the GEMINI-N (+Michelle) observations of fragments SW3-[B] and SW3-[C] of the ecliptic (Jupiter Family) comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachma…
The Potential Importance of Non-Local, Deep Transport on the Energetics, Momentum, Chemistry, and Aerosol Distributions in the Atmospheres of Earth, Mars and Titan
Scot Rafkin
A review of non-local, deep transport mechanisms in the atmosphere of Earth provides a good foundation for examining whether similar mechanisms are operating in the atmospheres of…
The Structure of the β Leonis Debris Disk
Nathan D. Stock, Kate Y. L. Su, Wilson Liu +6
We combine nulling interferometry at 10 μm using the MMT and Keck Telescopes with spectroscopy, imaging, and photometry from 3 to 100 μm using Spitzer to study the debris disk arou…
Formation of asteroid pairs by rotational fission
P. Pravec, D. Vokrouhlicky, D. Polishook +23
Asteroid pairs sharing similar heliocentric orbits were found recently. Backward integrations of their orbits indicated that they separated gently with low relative velocities, but…
First Earth-based Detection of a Superbolide on Jupiter
R. Hueso, A. Wesley, C. Go +14
Cosmic collisions on planets cause detectable optical flashes that range from terrestrial shooting stars to bright fireballs. On June 3, 2010 a bolide in Jupiter's atmosphere was s…
A Dynamical Solution of the Triple Asteroid System (45) Eugenia
F. Marchis, V. Lainey, P. Descamps +9
We present the first dynamical solution of the triple asteroid system (45) Eugenia and its two moons Petit-Prince (Diameter~7 km) and S/2004 (45) 1 (Diameter~5 km). The two moons o…
Physical characteristics and non-keplerian orbital motion of "propeller" moons embedded in Saturn's rings
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Joseph A. Burns, Miodrag Sremčević +8
We report the discovery of several large "propeller" moons in the outer part of Saturn's A ring, objects large enough to be followed over the 5-year duration of the Cassini mission…
Diagnosing Circumstellar Debris Disks
Joseph M. Hahn
(Abridged) A numerical model of a circumstellar debris disk is developed and applied to observations of the circumstellar dust orbiting beta Pictoris. The model accounts for the ra…
On the abundance of non-cometary HCN on Jupiter
Julianne I. Moses, Channon Visscher, Thomas C. Keane +1
Using one-dimensional thermochemical/photochemical kinetics and transport models, we examine the chemistry of nitrogen-bearing species in the Jovian troposphere in an attempt to ex…
The impact of a large object with Jupiter in July 2009
A. Sánchez-Lavega, A. Wesley, G. Orton +13
On 2009 July 19, we observed a single, large impact on Jupiter at a planetocentric latitude of 55^{\circ}S. This and the Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) impacts on Jupiter in 1994 are the o…
Seeing Double at Neptune's South Pole
S. H. Luszcz-Cook, I. de Pater, M. Adamkovics +1
Keck near-infrared images of Neptune from UT 26 July 2007 show that the cloud feature typically observed within a few degrees of Neptune's south pole had split into a pair of brigh…
The Deep Water Abundance on Jupiter: New Constraints from Thermochemical Kinetics and Diffusion Modeling
Channon Visscher, Julianne I. Moses, Sarah A. Saslow
We have developed a one-dimensional thermochemical kinetics and diffusion model for Jupiter's atmosphere that accurately describes the transition from the thermochemical regime in…
