Spitzer Observations of Spacecraft Target 162173 (1999 JU3)
H. Campins, J. P. Emery, M. Kelley +5
Near-Earth asteroid 162173 (1999 JU3) is the primary target of the Hayabusa-2 sample return mission, and a potential target of the Marco Polo sample return mission. Earth-based stu…
That's the way the comet crumbles: Splitting Jupiter-family comets
Y. R. Fernandez
Our current understanding of split, Jupiter-family comets is reviewed. The focus is on what recent studies of comets have told us about the nature of the splitting phenomenon. The…
Albedos of Small Jovian Trojans
Y. R. Fernandez, D. Jewitt, J. E. Ziffer
We present thermal observations of 44 Jovian Trojan asteroids with diameters (D) ranging from 5 to 24 km. All objects were observed at a wavelength of 24 microns with the Spitzer S…
Albedos of Main-Belt Comets 133P/Elst-Pizarro and 176P/LINEAR
Henry H. Hsieh, David Jewitt, Yanga R. Fernandez
We present the determination of the geometric R-band albedos of two main-belt comet nuclei based on data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and a number of ground-based optical facil…
Planetary Science Goals for the Spitzer Warm Era
Carey Lisse, Mark Sykes, David Trilling +6
The overarching goal of planetary astronomy is to deduce how the present collection of objects found in our Solar System were formed from the original material present in the proto…
Comet 162P/Siding Spring: A Surprisingly Large Nucleus
Y. R. Fernandez, H. Campins, M. Kassis +5
We present an analysis of thermal emission from comet 162P/Siding Spring (P/2004 TU12) measured during its discovery apparition in 2004 December. The comet showed no dust coma at t…
