Multi-wavelength JWST observations of (3200) Phaethon show a dehydrated object with an aqueously altered origin
Cristina A. Thomas, Andrew S. Rivkin, Ian Wong +10
We present JWST observations of the near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon using the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec), and Mid-Infrared Instrument (…
The Active Asteroids Citizen Science Program: Overview and First Results
Colin Orion Chandler, Chadwick A. Trujillo, William J. Oldroyd +20
We present the Citizen Science program Active Asteroids and describe discoveries stemming from our ongoing project. Our NASA Partner program is hosted on the Zooniverse online plat…
Physical Characterization of 2015 JD1: A Possibly Inhomogeneous Near-Earth Asteroid
Andy J. López-Oquendo, David E. Trilling, Annika Gustafsson +7
The surfaces of airless bodies such as asteroids are exposed to many phenomena that can alter their physical properties. Bennu, the target of the OSIRIS-REx mission, has demonstrat…
(6478) Gault: Physical characterization of an active main-belt asteroid
Maxime Devogèle, Marin Ferrais, Emmanuel Jehin +22
In December 2018, the main-belt asteroid (6478)~Gault was reported to display activity. Gault is an asteroid belonging to the Phocaea dynamical family and was not previously known…
A Deep Search for Emission From "Rock Comet" (3200) Phaethon At 1 AU
Quanzhi Ye, Matthew M. Knight, Michael S. P. Kelley +3
We present a deep imaging and spectroscopic search for emission from (3200) Phaethon, a large near-Earth asteroid that appears to be the parent of the strong Geminid meteoroid stre…
Spitzer Albedos of Near-Earth Objects
Annika Gustafsson, David E. Trilling, Michael Mommert +6
Thermal infrared observations are the most effective way to measure asteroid diameter and albedo for a large number of near-Earth objects. Major surveys like NEOWISE, NEOSurvey, Ex…
