Systematic and Statistical Uncertainties in the Non-Gravitational Acceleration of 3I/ATLAS

F. Spada, M. Królikowska, L. Dones

We present a detailed analysis of the trajectory of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, with emphasis on the determination of its non-gravitational acceleration (NGA) parameters and their…

Formation of Planetesimals in the Outer Solar System

Anders Johansen, Michele T. Bannister, Luke Dones +4

The Solar System hosts the most studied and best understood major and minor planetary bodies - and the only extraterrestrial bodies to have been visited by spacecraft. The Solar Sy…

A Spiral Structure in the Inner Oort Cloud

David Nesvorny, Luke Dones, David Vokrouhlicky +5

As the Galactic tide acts to decouple bodies from the scattered disk it creates a spiral structure in physical space that is roughly 15,000 au in length. The spiral is long-lived a…

The Dynamical Origins of the Dark Comets and a Proposed Evolutionary Track

Aster G. Taylor, Jordan K. Steckloff, Darryl Z. Seligman +5

So-called 'dark comets' are small, morphologically inactive near-Earth objects (NEOs) that exhibit nongravitational accelerations inconsistent with radiative effects. These objects…
