Taurid Complex Smoking Gun: Detection of Cometary Activity
Ignacio Ferrin, Vincenzo Orofino
Using the Secular Light Curve (SLC) formalism (Ferrín, 2010), we have catalogued 88 probable members of the Taurid Complex (TC). 51 of them have useful SLCs and 34 of these (67%) e…
Secular and Rotational Light Curves of 6478 Gault
I. Ferrin, C. Fornari, A. Acosta
We obtained 877 images of active asteroid 6478 Gault on 41 nights from January 10th to June 8th, 2019, using several telescopes. We created the phase, secular and rotational light…
1I/2017 U1 (Oumuamua) Might Be A Cometary Nucleus
Ignacio Ferrin, Jorge Zuluaga
In this work we find evidence that the object is of cometary origin.
A general method for assessing the origin of interstellar small bodies: the case of 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua)
Jorge I. Zuluaga, Oscar Sanchez-Hernandez, Mario Sucerquia +1
With the advent of more and deeper sky surveys, the discovery of interstellar small objects entering into the Solar System has been finally possible. In October 19, 2017, using obs…
The Impending Demise of Comet C/2013 US10
Ignacio Ferrin
We have developed a 3-step criterion to decide if a comet coming from the Oort Cloud will disintegrate. If we apply this criterion to comet C/2013 US10 we find that the probability…
The simplest method to measure the geocentric lunar distance: a case of citizen science
Jorge I. Zuluaga, Juan C. Figueroa, Ignacio Ferrin
We present the results of measuring the geocentric lunar distance using what we propose is the simplest method to achieve a precise result. Although lunar distance has been systema…
