An updated estimate of the number of Jupiter-family comets using a simple fading law
R. Brasser, J. -H. Wang
It has long been hypothesised that the Jupiter-family comets (JFCs) come from the scattered disc, an unstable planetesimal population beyond Neptune. This viewpoint has been widely…
A carefully characterised and tracked Trans-Neptunian survey, the size-distribution of the Plutinos and the number of Neptunian Trojans
Mike Alexandersen, Brett Gladman, J. J. Kavelaars +3
The Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) may preserve evidence of planet building in their orbital and size-distributions. While all populations show steep size-distributions for large o…
A Spitzer Five-Band Analysis of the Jupiter-Sized Planet TrES-1
Patricio Cubillos, Joseph Harrington, Nikku Madhusudhan +4
With an equilibrium temperature of 1200 K, TrES-1 is one of the coolest hot Jupiters observed by {\Spitzer}. It was also the first planet discovered by any transit survey and one o…
Reassessing the formation of the Inner Oort cloud in an embedded star cluster II: Probing the inner edge
R. Brasser, M. E. Schwamb
The detached object Sedna is likely at the inner edge of the Oort cloud, more precisely the inner Oort cloud (IOC). Until recently it was the sole member of this population. The re…
SEEDS Adaptive Optics Imaging of the Asymmetric Transition Disk Oph IRS 48 in Scattered Light
Katherine B. Follette, Carol A. Grady, Jeremy R. Swearingen +60
We present the first resolved near infrared imagery of the transition disk Oph IRS 48 (WLY 2-48), which was recently observed with ALMA to have a strongly asymmetric sub-millimeter…
Planet Hunters VII. Discovery of a New Low-Mass, Low-Density Planet (PH3 c) Orbiting Kepler-289 with Mass Measurements of Two Additional Planets (PH3 b and d)
Joseph R. Schmitt, Eric Agol, Katherine M. Deck +18
We report the discovery of one newly confirmed planet ( days, ) and mass determinations of two previously validated Kepler planets, Kepler-…
The Main-Belt Comets: The Pan-STARRS1 Perspective
Henry H. Hsieh, Larry Denneau, Richard J. Wainscoat +17
We analyze 760475 observations of 333026 main-belt objects obtained by the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) survey telescope between 2012 May 20 and 2013 November 9, a period during which PS1 dis…
Ethyl cyanide on Titan: Spectroscopic detection and mapping using ALMA
M. A. Cordiner, M. Y. Palmer, C. A. Nixon +9
We report the first spectroscopic detection of ethyl cyanide (CHCN) in Titan's atmosphere, obtained using spectrally and spatially resolved observations of multiple emissio…
ALMA measurements of the HNC and HCN distributions in Titan's atmosphere
M. A. Cordiner, C. A. Nixon, N. A. Teanby +10
We present spectrally and spatially-resolved maps of HNC and HCN emission from Titan's atmosphere, obtained using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) on 201…
Observational Constraints on the Catastrophic Disruption Rate of Small Main Belt Asteroids
Larry Denneau, Robert Jedicke, Alan Fitzsimmons +15
We have calculated 90% confidence limits on the steady-state rate of catastrophic disruptions of main belt asteroids in terms of the absolute magnitude at which one catastrophic di…
Search for the Return of Activity in Active Asteroid 176P/LINEAR
Henry H. Hsieh, Larry Denneau, Alan Fitzsimmons +18
We present the results of a search for the reactivation of active asteroid 176P/LINEAR during its 2011 perihelion passage using deep optical observations obtained before, during, a…
The Nucleus of Main-Belt Comet P/2010 R2 (La Sagra)
Henry H. Hsieh
We present recent observations of main-belt comet P/2010 R2 (La Sagra) obtained using the Gemini North telescope on five nights in late 2011 and early 2013 during portions of the o…
Mapping the release of volatiles in the inner comae of comets C/2012 F6 (Lemmon) and C/2012 S1 (ISON) using the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array
M. A. Cordiner, A. J. Remijan, J. Boissier +13
Results are presented from the first cometary observations using the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA), including measurements of the spatially-resolved distribut…
Planet Traps and Planetary Cores: Origins of the Planet-Metallicity Correlation
Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Ralph E. Pudritz
Massive exoplanets are observed preferentially around high metallicity ([Fe/H]) stars while low-mass exoplanets do not show such an effect. This so-called planet-metallicity correl…
Optical Properties of (162173) 1999 JU3: In Preparation for the JAXA Hayabusa 2 Sample Return Mission
Masateru Ishiguro, Daisuke Kuroda, Sunao Hasegawa +31
We investigated the magnitude-phase relation of (162173) 1999 JU3, a target asteroid for the JAXA Hayabusa 2 sample return mission. We initially employed the international Astronom…
Ground-based Multiwavelength Observations of Comet 103P/Hartley 2
A. Gicquel, S. N. Milam, G. L. Villanueva +6
The Jupiter-family comet 103P/Hartley 2 (103P) was the target of the NASA EPOXI mission. In support of this mission, we conducted observations from radio to submillimeter wavelengt…
Formation of Isothermal Disks around Protoplanets. I. Introductory Three-Dimensional Global Simulations for Sub-Neptune-Mass Protoplanets
Hsiang-Hsu Wang, Defu Bu, Hsien Shang +1
The regular satellites found around Neptune ($\approx 17~M_{\Earth}$) and Uranus ($\approx 14.5~M_{\Earth}$) suggest that past gaseous circumplanetary disks may have co-existed wit…
