Comets CO and CO fluorescence models for measuring the C/C isotopic ratio in CO
Philippe Rousselot, Emmanuel Jehin, Damien Hutsemékers +3
Context: CO is an abundant species in comets, creating CO ion with emission lines that can be observed in the optical spectral range. A good modeling of its fluorescence spectr…
High resolution optical spectroscopy of the -rich comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)
C. Opitom, D. Hutsemékers, E. Jehin +6
Early observations of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) have shown that the composition of this comet is very peculiar. We obtained high resolution spectra of the comet in February when…
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…
Forbidden oxygen lines at various nucleocentric distances in comets
A. Decock, E. Jehin, P. Rousselot +5
To study the formation of the [OI] lines - i.e., 5577 A (the green line), 6300 A and 6364 A (the two red lines) - in the coma of comets and to determine the parent species of the o…
Scientific rationale of Saturn's in situ exploration
O. Mousis, L. N. Fletcher, J. -P. Lebreton +47
Remote sensing observations meet some limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. A remarkable example of the superior…
The Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey - Full Data Release: The orbital structure of the Kuiper belt
Jean-Marc Petit, J. John Kavelaars, Brett J. Gladman +14
We report the orbital distribution of the trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) discovered during the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey, whose discovery phase ran from early 2003 until…
174P/Echeclus: a strange case of outburst
P. Rousselot
Context. More than ten Centaurs are now known to have cometary activity at large heliocentric distance (i.e. 5-13 AU). Among these objects, 174P/Echeclus which showed come…
The CFEPS Kuiper Belt Survey: Strategy and Pre-survey Results
R. L. Allen, B. Gladman, J-M Petit +13
We present the data acquisition strategy and characterization procedures for the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS), a sub-component of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope…
