The Volatile Composition and Activity Evolution of Main-Belt Comet 358P/PANSTARRS
Henry H. Hsieh, John W. Noonan, Michael S. P. Kelley +17
We report the detection of water vapor associated with main-belt comet 358P/PANSTARRS on UT 2024 January 8-9 using the NIRSPEC instrument aboard JWST. We derive a water production…
Jupiter Co-Orbital Comet P/2023 V6 (PANSTARRS): Orbital History and Modern Activity State
Theodore Kareta, John W. Noonan, Kathryn Volk +2
The discovery of the transient Jupiter co-orbital comet P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS) drew significant interest. Not only will LD2 transition between being a Centaur and a Jupiter Family Come…
Asteroid collisions: expected visibility and rate
E. O. Ofek, D. Polishook, D. Kushnir +9
Asteroid collisions are one of the main processes responsible for the evolution of bodies in the main belt. Using observations of the Dimorphos impact by the DART spacecraft, we es…
Dynamical feasibility of (3) Juno as a parent body of the H chondrites
John W. Noonan, Kathryn Volk, David Nesvorný +1
We test the hypothesis that (3) Juno is a parent body of the H chondrites with dynamical modeling of an asteroid-family-forming impact and comparison to current observational data.…
Ice, Ice, Maybe? Investigating 46P/Wirtanen's Inner Coma For Icy Grains
Theodore Kareta, John W. Noonan, Walter M. Harris +1
The release of volatiles from comets is usually from direct sublimation of ices on the nucleus, but for very or hyper-active comets other sources have to be considered to account f…
The Volatile Carbon to Oxygen Ratio as a Tracer for the Formation Locations of Interstellar Comets
Darryl Z. Seligman, Leslie A. Rogers, Samuel H. C. Cabot +13
Based on the occurrence rates implied by the discoveries of 1I/`Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, the forthcoming Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) should detect $\ge…
The Nature of Low-Albedo Small Bodies from 3-m Spectroscopy: One Group that Formed Within the Ammonia Snow Line and One that Formed Beyond It
Andrew S. Rivkin, Joshua P. Emery, Ellen S. Howell +9
We present evidence, via a large survey of 191 new spectra along with previously-published spectra, of a divide in the 3-m spectral properties of the low-albedo asteroid populat…
Radial Distribution of the Dust Comae of Comets 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajduusáková and 46P/Wirtanen
C. Lejoly, W. Harris, N. Samarasinha +21
There was an unprecedented opportunity to study the inner dust coma environment, where the dust and gas are not entirely decoupled, of comets 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajduusáková (45P/HMP)…
Spatial Distribution of Ultraviolet Emission from Cometary Activity at 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
John W. Noonan, Dominique Bockelée-Morvan, Paul D. Feldman +16
The Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on board the \textit{Rosetta} orbiter provided the first near-nucleus ultraviolet observations of a cometary coma from arrival at comet 67P/Chury…
Analysis of Hybrid Gas-Dust Outbursts Observed at 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
John W. Noonan, Giovanna Rinaldi, Paul D. Feldman +14
Cometary outbursts offer a valuable window into the composition of comet nuclei with their forceful ejection of dust and volatiles in explosive events, revealing the interior compo…
FUV Observations of the Inner Coma of 46P/Wirtanen
John W. Noonan, Walter M. Harris, Steven Bromley +6
Far ultraviolet observations of comets yield information about the energetic processes that dissociate the sublimated gases from their primitive surfaces. Understanding which emiss…
Ultraviolet-Based Science in the Solar System: Advances and Next Steps
Amanda R. Hendrix, Tracy M. Becker, Dennis Bodewits +25
We review the importance of recent UV observations of solar system targets and discuss the need for further measurements, instrumentation and laboratory work in the coming decade.…
The Crucial Role of Ground- and Space-Based Remote Sensing Studies of Cometary Volatiles in the Next Decade (2023-2032)
Nathan X. Roth, Dennis Bodewits, Boncho Bonev +15
The study of comets affords a unique window into the birth, infancy, and subsequent history of the solar system. There is strong evidence that comets incorporated pristine interste…
The carbon monoxide-rich interstellar comet 2I/Borisov
D. Bodewits, J. W. Noonan, P. D. Feldman +7
Interstellar comets offer direct samples of volatiles from distant protoplanetary disks. 2I/Borisov is the first notably active interstellar comet discovered in our solar system[1]…
Water production rates and activity of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov
Zexi Xing, Dennis Bodewits, John Noonan +1
We observed the interstellar comet 2I/Borisov using the Neil Gehrels-Swift Observatory's Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope. We obtained images of the OH gas and dust surrounding the nu…
Carbon Chain Depletion of 2I/Borisov
Theodore Kareta, Jennifer Andrews, John W. Noonan +10
The composition of comets in the Solar System come in multiple groups thought to encode information about their formation in different regions of the outer protosolar disk. The rec…
