Anomalous Flux in the Cosmic Optical Background Detected With New Horizons Observations
Tod R. Lauer, Marc Postman, John R. Spencer +27
We used New Horizons LORRI images to measure the optical-band () sky brightness within a high galactic-latitude field selected to have reduced diffu…
On Charon's Far-Ultraviolet Surface Reflectance
Brian A. Keeney, Joel Wm. Parker, Nathaniel Cunningham +3
We present the first measurements of Charon's far-ultraviolet surface reflectance, obtained by the Alice spectrograph on New Horizons. We find no measurable flux shortward of 1650…
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…
A Statistical Review of Light Curves and the Prevalence of Contact Binaries in the Kuiper Belt
Mark R. Showalter, Susan D. Benecchi, Marc W. Buie +19
We investigate what can be learned about a population of distant KBOs by studying the statistical properties of their light curves. Whereas others have successfully inferred the pr…
Multi-instrument analysis of far-ultraviolet aurora in the southern hemisphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
P. Stephenson, M. Galand, P. D. Feldman +9
Aims. We aim to determine whether dissociative excitation of cometary neutrals by electron impact is the major source of far-ultraviolet (FUV) emissions at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gera…
