ALICE: The Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph aboard the New Horizons Pluto-Kuiper Belt Mission
S. Alan Stern, David C. Slater, John Scherrer +8
The New Horizons ALICE instrument is a lightweight (4.4 kg), low-power (4.4 Watt) imaging spectrograph aboard the New Horizons mission to Pluto/Charon and the Kuiper Belt. Its prim…
Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 with Alice/Rosetta during the Deep Impact Encounter
Paul D. Feldman, S. Alan Stern, Andrew J. Steffl +5
We report on spectroscopic observations of periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 by the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on the Rosetta spacecraft in conjunction with NASA's Deep Impact mission…
Alice: The Rosetta Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph
S. A. Stern, D. C. Slater, J. Scherrer +8
We describe the design, performance and scientific objectives of the NASA-funded ALICE instrument aboard the ESA Rosetta asteroid flyby/comet rendezvous mission. ALICE is a lightwe…
Discovery of a low-eccentricity, high-inclination Kuiper belt object at 58 AU
R. L. Allen, B. Gladman, J. J. Kavelaars +3
We report the discovery of the first trans-neptunian object, designated 2004 XR190, with a nearly-cirular orbit beyond the 2:1 mean-motion resonance. Fitting an orbit to 23 astrome…
HST-WFPC2 Observations of the Star Clusters in the Giant HII Regions of M33
Myung Gyoon Lee, Hong Soo Park, Sang Chul Kim +4
We present a photometric study of the stars in ionizing star clusters embedded in several giant HII regions of M33 (CC93, IC 142, NGC 595, MA2, NGC 604 and NGC 588). Our photometry…
