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…
Size and Shape Constraints of (486958) Arrokoth from Stellar Occultations
Marc W. Buie, Simon B. Porter, Peter Tamblyn +130
We present the results from four stellar occultations by (486958) Arrokoth, the flyby target of the New Horizons extended mission. Three of the four efforts led to positive detecti…
