Considerations on the process of target selection for the Comet Interceptor mission
C. Snodgrass, E. Mazzotta Epifani, C. Tubiana +27
Comet Interceptor is an ESA science mission with payload contributions from ESA Member States and with an international participation by JAXA. It is the first mission that is being…
A D/H Ratio Consistent with Earth's Water in Halley-type Comet 12P from ALMA HDO Mapping
M. A. Cordiner, E. L. Gibb, Z. Kisiel +18
Isotopic measurements of Solar System bodies provide a primary paradigm within which to understand the origins and histories of planetary materials. The D/H ratio in particular, he…
Evidence for Surprising Heavy Nitrogen Isotopic Enrichment in Comet 46P/Wirtanen's Hydrogen Cyanide
M. A. Cordiner, K. Darnell, D. Bockeleé-Morvan +9
46P/Wirtanen is a Jupiter-family comet, probably originating from the Solar System's Kuiper belt, that now resides on a 5.4 year elliptical orbit. During its 2018 apparition, comet…
Chemical composition of comets C/2021 A1 (Leonard) and C/2022 E3 (ZTF) from radio spectroscopy and the abundance of HCOOH and HNCO in comets
N. Biver, D. Bockelee-Morvan, B. Handzlik +14
We present the results of a molecular survey of long period comets C/2021 A1 (Leonard) and C/2022 E3 (ZTF). Comet C/2021 A1 was observed with the IRAM 30-m radio telescope in Novem…
Gas Sources from the Coma and Nucleus of Comet 46P/Wirtanen Observed Using ALMA
M. A. Cordiner, N. X. Roth, S. N. Milam +10
Gas-phase molecules in cometary atmospheres (comae) originate primarily from (1) outgassing by the nucleus, (2) sublimation of icy grains in the near-nucleus coma, and (3) coma (ph…
Water, hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, and dust production from distant comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1
D. Bockelée-Morvan, N. Biver, C. A. Schambeau +13
29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 is a distant Centaur/comet, showing persistent CO-driven activity and frequent outbursts. We used the Herschel space observatory in 2010, 2011, and 2013…
Herschel observations of gas and dust in comet C/2006 W3 (Christensen) at 5 AU from the Sun
M. de Val-Borro, D. Bockelée-Morvan, E. Jehin +19
We aimed to measure the H2O and dust production rates in C/2006 W3 (Christensen) with the Herschel Space Observatory at a heliocentric distance of ~ 5 AU. We have searched for emis…
Herschel and IRAM-30m Observations of Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) at 4.5 AU from the Sun
L. O'Rourke, D. Bockelée-Morvan, N. Biver +9
Our goal was to characterize the distant gaseous and dust activity of comet C\2012 S1 (ISON), inbound, from observations of H2O, CO and the dust coma in the far-infrared and submil…
Water production in comet 81P/Wild 2 as determined by Herschel/HIFI
M. de Val-Borro, P. Hartogh, J. Crovisier +42
The high spectral resolution and sensitivity of Herschel/HIFI allows for the detection of multiple rotational water lines and accurate determinations of water production rates in c…
