The Occurrence and Mass Distribution of Close-in Super-Earths, Neptunes, and Jupiters
Andrew W. Howard, Geoffrey W. Marcy, John Asher Johnson +7
The questions of how planets form and how common Earth-like planets are can be addressed by measuring the distribution of exoplanet masses and orbital periods. We report the occurr…
Asteroid age distributions determined by space weathering and collisional evolution models
Mark Willman, Robert Jedicke
We provide evidence of consistency between the dynamical evolution of main belt asteroids and their color evolution due to space weathering. The dynamical age of an asteroid's surf…
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…
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…
Using the youngest asteroid clusters to constrain the Space Weathering and Gardening rate on S-complex asteroids
Mark Willman, Robert Jedicke, Nicholas Moskovitz +3
We have extended our earlier work on space weathering of the youngest S-complex asteroid families to include results from asteroid clusters with ages <10^6 years and to newly ident…
Neptune's Atmospheric Composition from AKARI Infrared Spectroscopy
Leigh N. Fletcher, Pierre Drossart, Martin Burgdorf +2
Aims: Disk-averaged infrared spectra of Neptune between 1.8 and 13 m, obtained by the AKARI Infrared Camera (IRC) in May 2007, have been analysed to (a) determine the globally-a…
