The NEOWISE-Discovered Comet Population and the CO+CO2 production rates
James M. Bauer, Rachel Stevenson, Emily Kramer +19
The 163 comets observed during the WISE/NEOWISE prime mission represent the largest infrared survey to date of comets, providing constraints on dust, nucleus sizes, and CO+CO2 prod…
NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Year One: Preliminary Asteroid Diameters and Albedos
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Masiero +7
We present preliminary diameters and albedos for 7,959 asteroids detected in the first year of the NEOWISE Reactivation mission. 201 are near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). 7,758 are Main…
Space Weathering Trends Among Carbonaceous Asteroids
Heather M. Kaluna, Joseph R. Masiero, Karen J. Meech
We present visible spectroscopic and albedo data of the 2.3 Gyr old Themis family and the <10 Myr old Beagle sub-family. The slope and albedo variations between these two families…
The Euphrosyne family's contribution to the low albedo near-Earth asteroids
Joseph R. Masiero, V. Carruba, A. Mainzer +2
The Euphrosyne asteroid family is uniquely situated at high inclination in the outer Main Belt, bisected by the nu_6 secular resonance. This large, low albedo family may thus be an…
NEOWISE: Observations of the Irregular Satellites of Jupiter and Saturn
Tommy Grav, James M. Bauer, Amy K. Mainzer +5
We present thermal model fits for 11 Jovian and 3 Saturnian irregular satellites based on measurements from the WISE/NEOWISE dataset. Our fits confirm spacecraft-measured diameters…
Asteroid Family Physical Properties
Joseph Masiero, Francesca DeMeo, Toshihiro Kasuga +1
An asteroid family is typically formed when a larger parent body undergoes a catastrophic collisional disruption, and as such family members are expected to show physical propertie…
