Stability of sulphur dimers S2 in cometary ices
O. Mousis, O. Ozgurel, J. I. Lunine +5
S2 has been observed for decades in comets, including comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Despite the fact that this molecule appears ubiquitous in these bodies, the nature of its sou…
Jupiter's Phase Variations from Cassini: a testbed for future direct-imaging missions
L. C. Mayorga, J. Jackiewicz, K. Rages +4
We present phase curves of Jupiter from 0-140 degrees as measured in multiple optical bandpasses by Cassini/ISS during the Millennium flyby of Jupiter in late 2000 to early 2001. P…
BP Piscium: its flaring disk imaged with SPHERE/ZIMPOL
J. de Boer, J. H. Girard, H. Canovas +9
Whether BP Piscium (BP Psc) is either a pre-main sequence T Tauri star at d ~ 80 pc, or a post-main sequence G giant at d ~ 300 pc is still not clear. As a first-ascent giant, it i…
Summer fireworks on comet 67P
J. -B. Vincent, M. F. A'Hearn, Z. -Y. Lin +52
During its two years mission around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, ESA's Rosetta spacecraft had the unique opportunity to follow closely a comet in the most active part of its or…
The Pan-STARRS 1 Discoveries of five new Neptune Trojans
Hsing Wen Lin, Ying-Tung Chen, Matthew J. Holman +16
In this work we report the detection of seven Neptune Trojans (NTs) in the Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1) survey. Five of these are new discoveries, consisting of four L4 Trojans and one L5 Tr…
Possible Internal Structures and Compositions of Proxima Centauri b
B. Brugger, O. Mousis, M. Deleuil +1
We explore the possible Proxima Centauri b's interiors assuming the planet belongs to the class of dense solid planets (rocky with possible addition of water) and derive the corres…
On the Composition of Young, Directly Imaged Giant Planets
J. I. Moses, M. S. Marley, K. Zahnle +6
The past decade has seen significant progress on the direct detection and characterization of young, self-luminous giant planets at wide orbital separations from their host stars.…
Large Super-Fast Rotator Hunting Using the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory
Chan-Kao Chang, Hsing-Wen Lin, Wing-Huen Ip +5
In order to look for large super-fast rotators, five dedicated surveys covering ~ 188 square degree in the ecliptic plane have been carried out in R-band with ~10 min cadence using…
Search for substellar-mass companions and asymmetries in their parent discs
M. Willson, S. Kraus, J. Kluska +7
Transitional discs are a class of circumstellar discs around young stars with extensive clearing of dusty material within their inner regions on 10s of au scales. One of the primar…
Discovery of A New Retrograde Trans-Neptunian Object: Hint of A Common Orbital Plane for Low Semi-Major Axis, High Inclination TNOs and Centaurs
Ying-Tung Chen, Hsing Wen Lin, Matthew J. Holman +14
Although the majority of Centaurs are thought to have originated in the scattered disk, with the high-inclination members coming from the Oort cloud, the origin of the high inclina…
Dynamics of Saturn's great storm of 2010-2011 from Cassini ISS and RPWS
Kunio M. Sayanagi, Ulyana A. Dyudina, Shawn P. Ewald +6
Saturn's quasi-periodic planet-encircling storms are the largest convecting outbursts in the Solar System. The last eruption was in 1990. A new eruption started in December 2010 an…
Spiral Structure and Differential Dust Size Distribution in the LkHa 330 Disk
E. Akiyama, J. Hashimoto, H. B. Liu +58
Dust trapping accelerates the coagulation of dust particles, and thus it represents an initial step toward the formation of planetesimals. We report -band (1.6 um) linear polari…
A Herschel view of protoplanetary disks in the Ori cluster
Karina Maucó, Jesús Hernández, Nuria Calvet +6
We present new Herschel PACS observations of 32 T Tauri stars in the young (3 Myr) Ori cluster. Most of our objects are K & M stars with large excesses at 24 m. We use…
OSSOS: IV. Discovery of a dwarf planet candidate in the 9:2 resonance with Neptune
Michele T. Bannister, Mike Alexandersen, Susan D. Benecchi +32
We report the discovery and orbit of a new dwarf planet candidate, 2015 RR, by the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS). 2015 RR's orbit is eccentric ($e=0.586…
Photolytic Hazes in the Atmosphere of 51 Eri b
Kevin J. Zahnle, Mark S. Marley, Caroline V. Morley +1
We use a 1D model to address photochemistry and possible haze formation in the irradiated warm Jupiter, 51 Eridani b. The intended focus was to be carbon, but sulfur photochemistry…
Exoplanetary Atmospheres - Chemistry, Formation Conditions, and Habitability
Nikku Madhusudhan, Marcelino Agúndez, Julianne I. Moses +1
Characterizing the atmospheres of extrasolar planets is the new frontier in exoplanetary science. The last two decades of exoplanet discoveries have revealed that exoplanets are ve…
Hot super-Earths stripped by their host stars
M. S. Lundkvist, H. Kjeldsen, S. Albrecht +26
Simulations predict that hot super-Earth sized exoplanets can have their envelopes stripped by photo-evaporation, which would present itself as a lack of these exoplanets. However,…
Studying the nucleus of comet 9P/Tempel 1 using the structure of the Deep Impact ejecta cloud at the early stages of its development
Ludmilla Kolokolova, Lev Nagdimunov, Michael A`Hearn +2
We present an attempt to extract information about the comet 9P/Tempel 1 nucleus from the characteristics of the ejecta cloud produced by the impactor of the Deep Impact mission. F…
