COSINE (Cometary Object Study Investigating their Nature and Evolution) I. Project Overview and General Characteristics of Detected Comets
Yuna G. Kwon, Dar W. Dahlen, Joseph R. Masiero +8
We present the first results from the COSINE (Cometary Object Study Investigating their Nature and Evolution) project, based on a uniformly processed dataset of 484 comets observed…
NEOWISE Observations of Distant Active Long-period Comets C/2014 B1 (Schwartz), C/2017 K2 (Pan-STARRS), and C/2010 U3 (Boattini)
Dave G. Milewski, Joseph R. Masiero, Jana Pittichova +3
Hyperactive comet activity typically becomes evident beyond the frost line (3 to 4 au) where it becomes too cold for water-ice to sublimate. If carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon diox…
Validation of the Survey Simulator tool for the NEO Surveyor mission using NEOWISE data
Joseph R. Masiero, Dar W. Dahlen, Amy K. Mainzer +4
The Near Earth Object Surveyor mission has a requirement to find two-thirds of the potentially hazardous asteroids larger than 140 meters in size. In order to determine the mission…
The Near-Earth Object Surveyor Mission
A. K. Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero, Paul A. Abell +34
The Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor mission is a NASA observatory designed to discover and characterize near-Earth asteroids and comets. The mission's primary objective is to find…
NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Year Three: Asteroid Diameters and Albedos
Joseph R. Masiero, C. Nugent, A. K. Mainzer +6
The Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) reactivation mission has completed its third year of surveying the sky in the thermal infrared for near-Earth as…
NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Year Two: Asteroid Diameters and Albedos
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Bauer +6
The Near-Earth Object Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) mission continues to detect, track, and characterize minor planets. We present diameters and albedos calculated…
