Volatile-rich comets ejected early on during Solar System formation

S. E. Anderson, J. -M. Petit, B. Noyelles +2

Comet C/2016 R2 PanSTARRS (hereafter C/2016 R2) presents an unusually high N2/CO abundance ratio, as well as a heavy depletion in H2O, making it the only known comet of its kind. U…

The N Production Rate in Comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)

Sarah E. Anderson, Philippe Rousselot, Benoît Noyelles +4

Observations of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) have revealed exceptionally bright emission bands of N, the strongest ever observed in a comet spectrum. Alternatively, it appears…

Chaos over Order: Mapping 3D Rotation of Triaxial Asteroids and Minor Planets

Valeri V. Makarov, Alexey Goldin, Alexei V. Tkachenko +2

Celestial bodies approximated with rigid triaxial ellipsoids in a two-body system can rotate chaotically due to the time-varying gravitational torque from the central mass. At smal…

Interior properties of the inner Saturnian moons from space astrometry data

Valéry Lainey, Benoît Noyelles, Nicholas Cooper +3

During the thirteen years in orbit around Saturn before its final plunge, the Cassini spacecraft provided more than ten thousand astrometric measurements. Such large amounts of acc…

Strong tidal energy dissipation in Saturn at Titan's frequency as an explanation for Iapetus orbit

William Polycarpe, Melaine Saillenfest, Valéry Lainey +3

Natural satellite systems present a large variety of orbital configurations in the solar system. While some are clearly the result of known processes, others still have largely une…

Rotation of a synchronous viscoelastic shell

Benoît Noyelles

Several natural satellites of the giant planets have shown evidence of a global internal ocean, coated by a thin, icy crust. This crust is probably viscoelastic, which would alter…
