JWST Reveals the Kuiper Belt-like Compositions of the Uranian Rings and Small Moons
Matthew Belyakov, M. Ryleigh Davis, Zachariah Milby +2
We present the JWST NIRSpec 1--5 micron spectra of the Uranian rings and four ringmoons: Puck, Perdita, Portia, and Juliet. We find that the compositions of the rings and moons str…
Neptune's Inner Moons and Rings Are Exposed Icy Body Interiors
M. Ryleigh Davis, Matthew Belyakov, Ian Wong +2
Neptune's single large moon, Triton, is accompanied by a set of dusty rings and small moons whose composition and origin are uncertain. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, we obs…
Deuterated water and the formation of the satellites of Uranus
Michael E. Brown, Matthew Belyakov, Swaroop Chandra +5
The satellites of Uranus orbit in a low-eccentricity, equatorial plane that is tilted by 98 degrees relative to the solar system -- a geometry that mirrors Uranus's extreme axial t…
JWST/MIRI Finds ISM-like Amorphous Silicates in Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
Matthew Belyakov, Ian Wong, Carey M. Lisse +7
We present the first spectroscopic mineralogical analysis of the dust coma of an interstellar object (ISO) from JWST mid-infrared spectroscopy of 3I/ATLAS (3I). 3I exhibits a stron…
The Volatile Inventory of 3I/ATLAS as seen with JWST/MIRI
Matthew Belyakov, Ian Wong, Bryce T. Bolin +4
We present the first spectroscopic characterization of an interstellar object at mid-infrared wavelengths. Post-perihelion observations of 3I/ATLAS using the JWST/MIRI medium-resol…
