The Discovery and Evolution of a Possible New Epoch of Cometary Activity by the Centaur (2060) Chiron

Matthew M. Dobson, Megan E. Schwamb, Alan Fitzsimmons +24

Centaurs are small Solar System objects on chaotic orbits in the giant planet region, forming an evolutionary continuum with the Kuiper belt objects and Jupiter-family comets. Some…
