Palomar discovery and initial characterization of naked-eye long period comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)
B. T. Bolin, F. J. Masci, D. A. Duev +11
Long-period comets are planetesimal remnants constraining the environment and volatiles of the protoplanetary disc. We report the discovery of hyperbolic long-period comet C/2022 E…
Keck, Gemini, and Palomar 200-inch visible photometry of red and very-red Neptunian Trojans
B. T. Bolin, C. Fremling, A. Morbidelli +9
Neptunian Trojans (NTs), trans-Neptunian objects in 1:1 mean-motion resonance with Neptune, are generally thought to have been captured from the original trans-Neptunian protoplane…
29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann: A Rosetta Stone for Amorphous Water Ice and CO <-> CO2 Conversion in Centaurs and Comets?
C. M. Lisse, J. K. Steckloff, D. Prialnik +12
Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (SW1) is a highly active object orbiting in the transitional Gateway region (Sarid et al. 2019) between the Centaur and Jupiter Family Comet regi…
Thermal Alteration and Differential Sublimation Can Create Phaethons "Rock Comet" Activity and Blue Color
C. M. Lisse, J. K. Steckloff
In 2010 Jewitt and Li published a paper examining the behavior of comet-asteroid transition object 3200 Phaethon, arguing it was asteroid-like in its behavior throughout most of it…
Spitzer Observations of Interstellar Object 1I/`Oumuamua
DE Trilling, M Mommert, JL Hora +20
1I/`Oumuamua is the first confirmed interstellar body in our Solar System. Here we report on observations of `Oumuamua made with the Spitzer Space Telescope on 2017 November 21--22…
Infrared Spectroscopy of HR 4796A's Bright Outer Cometary Ring + Tenuous Inner Hot Dust Cloud
Carey M. Lisse, Mike L. Sitko, Massimo Marengo +4
We have obtained new NASA IRTF SpeX spectra of the HR 4796A debris ring system. We find a unique red excess flux that extends out to ~9 um in Spitzer IRS spectra, where thermal emi…
