The Near-Earth Object Surveyor Mission
A. K. Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero, Paul A. Abell +34
The Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor mission is a NASA observatory designed to discover and characterize near-Earth asteroids and comets. The mission's primary objective is to find…
Successful Kinetic Impact into an Asteroid for Planetary Defense
R. Terik Daly, Carolyn M. Ernst, Olivier S. Barnouin +98
While no known asteroid poses a threat to Earth for at least the next century, the catalog of near-Earth asteroids is incomplete for objects whose impacts would produce regional de…
CO2-driven surface changes in the Hapi region on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Björn J. R. Davidsson, F. Peter Schloerb, Sonia Fornasier +24
Between 2014 December 31 and 2015 March 17, the OSIRIS cameras on Rosetta documented the growth of a 140m wide and 0.5m deep depression in the Hapi region on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Ge…
Albedo variegation on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Björn J. R. Davidsson, Bonnie J. Buratti, Michael. D. Hicks
We here study the level of albedo variegation on the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This is done by fitting the parameters of a standard photometric phase function mod…
Anomalous Flux in the Cosmic Optical Background Detected With New Horizons Observations
Tod R. Lauer, Marc Postman, John R. Spencer +27
We used New Horizons LORRI images to measure the optical-band () sky brightness within a high galactic-latitude field selected to have reduced diffu…
Saturn's icy satellites investigated by Cassini -- VIMS. V. Spectrophotometry
G. Filacchione, M. Ciarniello, E. D'Aversa +6
Albedo, spectral slopes, and water ice band depths maps for the five midsized saturnian satellites Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, and Rhea have been derived from Cassini-Visual a…
