A Northern Ecliptic Survey for Solar System Science
Megan E. Schwamb, Kathryn Volk, Hsing Wen +12
Making an inventory of the Solar System is one of the four fundamental science requirements for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). The current baseline footprint for LSST'…
The 2016 Reactivations of Main-Belt Comets 238P/Read and 288P/(300163) 2006 VW139
Henry H. Hsieh, Masateru Ishiguro, Yoonyoung Kim +7
We report observations of the reactivations of main-belt comets 238P/Read and 288P/(300163) 2006 VW139, that also track the evolution of each object's activity over several months…
Search for Dust Emission from (24) Themis Using the Gemini-North Telescope
Henry H. Hsieh, Yoonyoung Kim, Alan Fitzsimmons +1
We report the results of a search for a dust trail aligned with the orbit plane of the large main-belt asteroid (24) Themis, which has been reported to have water ice frost on its…
The Reactivation and Nucleus Characterization of Main-Belt Comet 358P/PANSTARRS (P/2012 T1)
Henry H. Hsieh, Masateru Ishiguro, Matthew M. Knight +4
We present observations of main-belt comet 358P/PANSTARRS (P/2012 T1) obtained using the Gemini South telescope from 2017 July to 2017 December, as the object approached perihelion…
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Solar System Science Roadmap
Megan E. Schwamb, R. Lynne Jones, Steven R. Chesley +18
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is uniquely equipped to search for Solar System bodies due to its unprecedented combination of depth and wide field coverage. Over a ten-…
Orbital Alignment of Main-Belt Comets
Yoonyoung Kim, Youngmin JeongAhn, Henry H. Hsieh
We examine the orbital element distribution of main-belt comets (MBCs), which are objects that exhibit cometary activity yet orbit in the main asteroid belt, and may be potentially…
