The Palomar twilight survey of 'Ayló'chaxnim, Atiras, and comets
B. T. Bolin, F. J. Masci, M. W. Coughlin +29
Near-sun sky twilight observations allow for the detection of asteroid interior to the orbit of Venus (Aylos), the Earth (Atiras), and comets. We present the results of observation…
Palomar discovery and initial characterization of naked-eye long period comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)
B. T. Bolin, F. J. Masci, D. A. Duev +11
Long-period comets are planetesimal remnants constraining the environment and volatiles of the protoplanetary disc. We report the discovery of hyperbolic long-period comet C/2022 E…
Water Ortho-to-Para ratio in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Y. -C. Cheng, D. Bockelée-Morvan, M. Roos-Serote +9
Abundance ratios of the nuclear-spin isomers of HO and NH have been measured in about two dozen comets, with a mean value corresponding to a nuclear-spin temperature of $\s…
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…
Detection of Coma Activity of the ACO/Quasi-Hilda Object, 212P/2000YN30
Y. -C. Cheng, W. -H. Ip
The quasi-Hilda object, 212P/2000YN30 with a cometary-like orbit, was found to display a dust tail structure between January and March, 2009. From orbital calculations, it is shown…
