COSINE (Cometary Object Study Investigating their Nature and Evolution) II: Colors and Sizes of Comet Nuclei

Yuna G. Kwon, Dar W. Dahlen, Joseph R. Masiero +6

Comet nuclei preserve a record of planetesimal formation, but their sizes are difficult to measure because the nucleus is usually blended with its coma. We present a catalog of nuc…

NEOWISE data and Thermophysical Modeling of 98943 Torifune (2001 CC21)

Edward L., Wright, Jospeh Masiero +1

The Hayabusa2# flyby target 98943 Torifune (2001 CC21) has an uncertain size based on an uncertain albedo and uncertain absolute magnitude. We have collected all the NEOWISE observ…

COSINE (Cometary Object Study Investigating their Nature and Evolution) I. Project Overview and General Characteristics of Detected Comets

Yuna G. Kwon, Dar W. Dahlen, Joseph R. Masiero +8

We present the first results from the COSINE (Cometary Object Study Investigating their Nature and Evolution) project, based on a uniformly processed dataset of 484 comets observed…

Visual-band brightnesses of Near Earth Objects that will be discovered in the infrared by NEO Surveyor

Joseph R. Masiero, Tyler Linder, Amy Mainzer +2

NEO Surveyor will detect asteroids and comets using mid-infrared thermal emission, however ground-based followup resources will require knowledge of the expected visible light brig…

NEOWISE-R Caught the Luminous SN 2023ixf in Messier 101

Schuyler D. Van Dyk, Tamas Szalai, Roc M. Cutri +16

The reactivated Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE-R) serendipitously caught the Type II supernova SN 2023ixf in Messier 101 on the rise, starting day 3…

The Sensitivity of NEO Surveyor to Low-Perihelion Asteroids

Joseph R. Masiero, Yuna G. Kwon, Dar W. Dahlen +2

Asteroids with low orbital perihelion distances experience extreme heating from the Sun that can modify their surfaces and trigger non-typical activity mechanisms. These objects ar…
