The Dense, Rocky Core of Haumea Revealed by Satellite Dynamics
Benjamin Proudfoot, Darin Ragozzine, Will Grundy +2
The icy dwarf planets in the outer solar system are among the most enigmatic bodies known, showing activity ranging from atmospheric resurfacing to possible cryovolcanism. Yet the…
Thermophysical characterization of the potentially hazardous near-Earth object 2024 YR4
T. G. Müller, E. M. MacLennan, A. Y. Burdanov +7
The asteroid 2024 YR4 is a potentially hazardous Apollo-type near-Earth object. Its highly eccentric orbit produces close Earth-Moon encounters roughly every 4 years. A collection…
Linear Continuum Modelling to Explain The Majority of Bulk Features of Kuiper Belt Object Spectra
Wesley C. Fraser, Laura E. Buchanan, Ian Wong +2
The first analyses of the James Webb Space Telescope spectra of trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) revealed three discrete types of surfaces. This seems to contradict ground-based spec…
Callisto from JWST: CO2-rich terrain on the leading hemisphere and global patterns of H2O ice
Maria Camarca, Katherine de Kleer, Richard J. Cartwright +5
We present maps of H2O, CO2, and a 4.57 um spectral feature across Callisto's surface observed using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). H2O ice was mapped by measuring band par…
The Polana-Eulalia Complex with JWST NIRSpec: Connections to Bennu, Ryugu, and Outer Solar System Bodies
Lucas McClure, Joshua Emery, Driss Takir +8
Carbon rich [C complex] asteroids provide insight into the early Solar System, and families of C complex asteroids serve as robust samples for learning about the internal structure…
Tracing the source of carbon oxides on the large moons of Uranus
Richard J. Cartwright, Sasha Cryan, Rosario Brunetto +15
The Uranian moons Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon are enriched in CO2 mixed with CO, but the origin(s) of these carbon oxides, be they primarily native or radiolytic, remains u…
