NEOWISE Observations of Distant Active Long-period Comets C/2014 B1 (Schwartz), C/2017 K2 (Pan-STARRS), and C/2010 U3 (Boattini)
Dave G. Milewski, Joseph R. Masiero, Jana Pittichova +3
Hyperactive comet activity typically becomes evident beyond the frost line (3 to 4 au) where it becomes too cold for water-ice to sublimate. If carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon diox…
Behavioral Characteristics and CO+CO2 Production Rates of Halley-Type Comets Observed by NEOWISE
Joshua D. Rosser, James M. Bauer, Amy K. Mainzer +8
From the entire dataset of comets observed by NEOWISE, we have analyzed 11 different Halley-Type Comets (HTCs) for dust production rates, CO+CO2 production rates, and nucleus sizes…
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…
Lingering grains of truth around comet 17P/Holmes
R. Stevenson, J. M. Bauer, E. A. Kramer +3
Comet 17P/Holmes underwent a massive outburst in 2007 Oct., brightening by a factor of almost a million in under 48 hours. We used infrared images taken by the Wide-Field Survey Ex…
