What Does It Mean to be a "Depleted" Comet? High Spectral Resolution Observations of the Prototypical Depleted Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner from McDonald Observatory
Anita L. Cochran, Tyler Nelson, Adam J. McKay
We present high spectral resolution optical observations of comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner from six nights in 2018. The observations were obtained with the Tull coude spectrograph on t…
The Crucial Role of Ground- and Space-Based Remote Sensing Studies of Cometary Volatiles in the Next Decade (2023-2032)
Nathan X. Roth, Dennis Bodewits, Boncho Bonev +15
The study of comets affords a unique window into the birth, infancy, and subsequent history of the solar system. There is strong evidence that comets incorporated pristine interste…
Detection of a Water Tracer in Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov
Adam J. McKay, Anita L. Cochran, Neil Dello Russo +1
We present high spectral resolution optical spectra obtained with the ARCES instrument at Apache Point Observatory showing detection of the [OI]6300 A line in interstellar comet 2I…
The Peculiar Volatile Composition of CO-Dominated Comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)
Adam McKay, Michael DiSanti, Michael Kelley +14
Comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) has a peculiar volatile composition, with CO being the dominant volatile as opposed to HO and one of the largest N/CO ratios ever observed in a…
The 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observation campaign in support of the Rosetta mission
C. Snodgrass, M. F. A'Hearn, F. Aceituno +112
We present a summary of the campaign of remote observations that supported the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across the globe (and in space) followed comet 67…
