Volatiles

Kathleen Mandt, Oleksandra Ivanova, Olga Harrington Pinto +2

Small bodies are the remnant building blocks from the time when the planets formed and migrated to their current positions. Their volatile composition and relative abundances serve…

First detection of CO emission in a Centaur: JWST NIRSpec observations of 39P/Oterma

O. Harrington Pinto, M. S. P. Kelley, G. L. Villanueva +9

Centaurs are minor solar system bodies with orbits transitioning between those of Trans-Neptunian Scattered Disk objects and Jupiter Family comets. 39P/Oterma is a frequently activ…

The visual lightcurve of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) from 1995-1999

M. Womack, O. Curtis, D. A. Rabson +22

The long-term brightness evolution of the great comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) presented a remarkable opportunity to study the behavior of its coma over four years. We used approximat…

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…
