First JWST spectrum of distant activity in Long Period Comet C/2024 E1 (Wierzchos)
Colin Snodgrass, Carrie E. Holt, Michael S. P. Kelley +10
We observed the new Long Period Comet C/2024 E1 (Wierzchos), inbound at 7 au from the Sun, using the NIRSpec integral field unit on JWST. The spectrum shows absorption features due…
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…
Past and Future Comet Missions
C. Snodgrass, L. Feaga, G. H. Jones +2
We review the history of spacecraft encounters with comets, concentrating on those that took place in the recent past, since the publication of the Comets II book. This includes th…
Determining the dust environment of an unknown comet for a spacecraft fly-by: The case of ESA's Comet Interceptor mission
Raphael Marschall, Vladimir Zakharov, Cecilia Tubiana +12
We present a statistical approach to assess the dust environment for a yet unknown comet (or when its parameters are known only with large uncertainty). This is of particular impor…
ESA F-Class Comet Interceptor: Trajectory Design to Intercept a Yet-to-be-discovered Comet
Joan Pau Sánchez, David Morante, Pablo Hermosin +8
Comet Interceptor (Comet-I) was selected in June 2019 as the first ESA F-Class mission. In 2029+, Comet-I will hitch a ride to a Sun-Earth L2 quasi-halo orbit, as a co-passenger of…
Observational constraints to the dynamics of dust particles in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Elisa Frattin, I. Bertini, S. L. Ivanovski +18
In this work we aim to characterise the dust motion in the inner coma of comet 67P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko to provide constraints for theoretical 3D coma models. The OSIRIS camera o…
