Extremely low linear polarization of comet C/2018 V1 (Machholz-Fujikawa-Iwamoto)
E. Zubko, E. Chornaya, M. Zheltobryukhov +8
We measured the degree of linear polarization P of comet C/2018 V1 (Machholz-Fujikawa-Iwamoto) with the broadband Johnson V filter in mid-November of 2018. Within a radius of \r{ho…
The surface sensitivity of rubble-pile asteroids during a distant planetary encounter: Influence of asteroid shape elongation
Yaeji Kim, Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Richard P Binzel +3
We numerically investigate how an asteroid's elongation controls the sensitivity of its surface to tidal effects during a distant planetary encounter beyond the Roche limit. We ana…
Initial Characterization of Active Transitioning Centaur, P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS), using Hubble, Spitzer, ZTF, Keck, APO and GROWTH Visible & Infrared Imaging and Spectroscopy
Bryce T. Bolin, Yanga R. Fernandez, Carey M. Lisse +43
We present visible and mid-infrared imagery and photometry of temporary Jovian co-orbital comet P/2019 LD taken with HST/WFC3, Spitzer/IRAC, the GROWTH telescope network, visib…
Spin-driven evolution of asteroids' top-shapes at fast and slow spins seen from (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu
Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Ryota Nakano, Eri Tatsumi +14
Proximity observations by OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2 provided clues on the shape evolution processes of the target asteroids, (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu. Their oblate shapes w…
Exocomets from a Solar System Perspective
Paul A. Strøm, Dennis Bodewits, Matthew M. Knight +24
Exocomets are small bodies releasing gas and dust which orbit stars other than the Sun. Their existence was first inferred from the detection of variable absorption features in ste…
Ionic emissions in comet C/2016 R2 (Pan-STARRS)
Kumar Venkataramani, Shashikiran Ganesh, Kiran S. Baliyan
We carried out observations of a peculiar comet, C/2016 R2 (Pan-STARRS), using a low resolution spectrograph mounted on the 1.2m telescope at Mount Abu Infrared Observatory, India.…
