Centaur Nuclei: Sizes, Shapes, Spins, and Structure
Y. R. Fernandez, M. W. Buie, P. Lacerda +1
We present a wide-ranging but in-depth analysis of Centaurs, focusing on their physical and structural aspects. Centaurs, originating from the Scattered Disk and Kuiper Belt, play…
Secular brightness curves of 272 comets
P. Lacerda, A. Guilbert-Lepoutre, R . Kokotanekova +3
We investigate the brightening behavior of long-period comets as a function of dynamical age, defined by the original reciprocal semimajor axis, . Our goal is to test long-s…
How much earlier would LSST have discovered currently known long-period comets?
Laura Inno, Margherita Scuderi, Ivano Bertini +10
Among solar system objects, comets coming from the Oort Cloud are an elusive population, intrinsically rare and difficult to detect. Nonetheless, as the more pristine objects we ca…
Implications of the Small Spin Changes Measured for Large Jupiter-Family Comet Nuclei
Rosita Kokotanekova, Colin Snodgrass, Pedro Lacerda +3
Rotational spin-up due to outgassing of comet nuclei has been identified as a possible mechanism for considerable mass-loss and splitting. We report a search for spin changes for t…
