JWST Characterization of Earth Quasi-Satellite (469219) Kamo`oalewa
Benjamin N. L Sharkey, Vishnu Reddy, John W. Noonan +5
Near-Earth asteroid (469219) Kamo`oalewa is a uniquely stable quasi-satellite of the Earth and a target of the Tianwen-2 spacecraft mission. Here we report observations taken with…
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…
Planetary Defense Use of the SPHEREx Solar System Object Catalog
Carey Lisse, James Bauer, Yaeji Kim
The upcoming NASA SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer) all-sky 0.7 to 5.0 um spectral survey, to be conducted from…
Tidal resurfacing model for (99942) Apophis during the 2029 close approach with Earth
Y. Kim, J. V. DeMartini, D. C. Richardson +1
We numerically investigate tidally induced surface refreshing on Apophis during its close approach with Earth within a perigee distance of 5.96 Earth radii on April 13, 2029. We im…
A numerical approach using a finite element model to constrain the possible interior layout of (16) Psyche
Yaeji Kim, Masatoshi Hirabayashi
Asteroid (16) Psyche is notable for the largest M-type asteroid and has the high radar albedo among the main-belt asteroids. The object is likely a mixture of metal and silicates b…
Active Main-Belt Asteroid (6478) Gault -- Constraint on Its Cohesive Strength and the Fate of Ejected Particles in the Solar System
Pierce M. Jackson, Ryota Nakano, Yaeji Kim +1
Active asteroid (6478) Gault sheds mass independent of location along its orbit. Rotational instability is considered to induce the observed activities. If this is the case, becaus…
The surface sensitivity of rubble-pile asteroids during a distant planetary encounter: Influence of asteroid shape elongation
Yaeji Kim, Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Richard P Binzel +3
We numerically investigate how an asteroid's elongation controls the sensitivity of its surface to tidal effects during a distant planetary encounter beyond the Roche limit. We ana…
