LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
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…
Spitzer Space Telescope Observations of the Nucleus of Comet 103P/Hartley 2
C. M. Lisse, Y. R. Fernandez, W. T. Reach +7
We have used the Spitzer 22-um peakup array to observe thermal emission from the nucleus and trail of comet 103P/Hartley 2, the target of NASA's Deep Impact Extended mission. The c…
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…
