A Search for the Lost Comet P/2010 H2 (Vales)

Quanzhi Ye, Tony L. Farnham, Perry Cai +1

Short-period comet P/2010 H2 (Vales) underwent a significant outburst of ~mag in 2010 and has not been detected since that apparition. Here we report our recovery attempt of…

New Candidates for Organic-rich Regions on Ceres

J. L. Rizos, J. M. Sunshine, R. T. Daly +7

We explore the spatial distribution of organics on Ceres using the visible and near-infrared data collected by the Dawn mission. We employ a spectral mixture analysis (SMA) approac…
