Establishing Earth's Minimoon Population through Characterization of Asteroid 2020 CD
Grigori Fedorets, Marco Micheli, Robert Jedicke +20
We report on our detailed characterization of Earth's second known temporary natural satellite, or minimoon, asteroid 2020 CD3. An artificial origin can be ruled out based on its a…
Contemporaneous Multi-Wavelength and Precovery Observations of Active Centaur P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS
Theodore Kareta, Laura M. Woodney, Charles Schambeau +10
Gateway Centaur and Jupiter co-orbital P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS) (Sarid et al. 2019) provides the first opportunity to observe the migration of a Solar System small body from a Centaur or…
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…
CO gas and dust outbursts from Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann
Kacper Wierzchos, Maria Womack
29P/Schwassmann Wachmann is an unusual solar system object. Originally classified as a short-period comet, it is now known as a Centaur that recently transferred to its current orb…
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…
C/2016 R2 (PANSTARRS): A comet rich in CO and depleted in HCN
Kacper Wierzchos, Maria Womack
We observed comet C/2016 R2 (PANSTARRS) with the ARO 10-m SMT, and report the first detection of CO emission from this comet with amounts high enough to be the primary driver of ac…
