Bayesian Modeling of NICER Cometary X-ray Spectra: A Legacy Survey of Solar-Wind Charge Exchange

T. K. Deskins, Dennis Bodewits, Steven Bromley +3

We present a uniform, epoch-resolved analysis of soft X-ray observations of eight comets obtained with NICER, using Bayesian statistics to identify charge-exchange line components,…

Coma Physics of an Interstellar Object: JWST Spatial-Spectral Mapping of 3I/ATLAS

Nathan X. Roth, Martin A. Cordiner, Stefanie N. Milam +17

We report a survey of molecular emission from cometary volatiles using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) toward interstellar object 3I/ATLAS carried out on UT 2025 December 22…

Updated Ultraviolet Fluorescence Efficiencies of CS: Evidence for Model Discrepancies in the Enhancement of NUV-Derived CS Abundances in Comets

Steven Bromley, John Noonan, Barbora Stachova +2

Observations of carbon monosulfide (CS) have a long history serving as a remote proxy for atomic sulfur, and more broadly, one of the sulfur reservoirs in cometary bodies. Recently…

Relativistic Atomic Structure of Au IV and the Os Isoelectronic Sequence: opacity data for kilonova ejecta

Z. S. Taghadomi, Y. Wan, A. Flowers +6

Direct detection of gravitational waves (GW) on Aug. 17, 2017, propagating from a binary neutron star merger, opened the era of multimessenger astronomy. The ejected material from…

Atomic iron and nickel in the coma of C/1996 B2 (Hyakutake): production rates, emission mechanisms, and possible parents

Steven Bromley, Brynna Neff, Stuart Loch +4

Two papers recently reported the detection of gaseous nickel and iron in the comae of over 20 comets from observations collected over two decades, including interstellar comet 2I/B…
