Changes in Pluto's Atmosphere Based on Stellar Occultation Data from 2017 to 2023
Amanda A. Sickafoose, Michael J. Person, Carlos A. Zuluaga +14
Pluto's tenuous atmosphere has bar-level pressure and is composed primarily of , with a variable haze. Its eccentric orbit combined with high obliquity leads to si…
Material Around the Centaur (2060) Chiron from the 2018 November 28 UT Stellar Occultation
Amanda A. Sickafoose, Stephen E. Levine, Amanda S. Bosh +5
A stellar occultation of Gaia DR3 2646598228351156352 by the Centaur (2060) Chiron was observed from the South African Astronomical Observatory on 2018 November 28 UT. Here we pres…
Almost medium-free measurement of the Hoyle state direct-decay component with a TPC
J. Bishop, G. V. Rogachev, S. Ahn +14
Background: The structure of the Hoyle state, a highly -clustered state at 7.65 MeV in , has long been the subject of debate. Understanding if the system compri…
Evidence against the Efimov effect in from spectroscopy and astrophysics
J. Bishop, G. V. Rogachev, S. Ahn +16
Background: The Efimov effect is a universal phenomenon in physics whereby three-body systems are stabilized via the interaction of an unbound two-body sub-systems. A hypothetical…
The Formation of Bilobate Comet Shapes through Sublimative Torques
Taylor K. Safrit, Jordan K. Steckloff, Amanda S. Bosh +4
Recent spacecraft and radar observations have found that ~70 percent of short-period comet nuclei, mostly Jupiter-family comets (JFCs), have bilobate shapes (two masses connected b…
The Sublimative Evolution of (486958) Arrokoth
Jordan K. Steckloff, Carey M. Lisse, Taylor K. Safrit +3
We consider the history of New Horizons target (486958) Arrokoth in the context of its sublimative evolution. Shortly after the Sun's protoplanetary disk (PPD) cleared, the newly i…
