Multi-year Ground-Based Survey Photometry of Active Comet 103P/Hartley 2 and Centaur (2060) Chiron: A Tale of Two Comets in the Pre-LSST Era
Joseph Murtagh, Megan E. Schwamb, Michael S. P. Kelley +22
Comets and Centaurs trace the evolution of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) into the inner solar system. Their activity reflects the interplay between volatile sublimation, dust dyna…
A Large Outburst, Coma Asymmetries, and the Color of Comet 243P/NEAT
Michael S. P. Kelley, Silvia Protopapa, Dennis Bodewits +16
Water ice is a fundamental building material of comets and other bodies in the outer solar system. Yet, the properties of cometary water ice are challenging to study, due to its vo…
Comet P/2021 HS (PANSTARRS) and the Challenge of Detecting Low-Activity Comets
Quanzhi Ye, Michael S. P. Kelley, James M. Bauer +8
Jupiter-family comet (JFC) P/2021 HS (PANSTARRS) only exhibits a coma within a few weeks of its perihelion passage at 0.8~au, which is atypical for a comet. Here we present an inve…
Activity and composition of the hyperactive comet 46P/Wirtanen during its close approach in 2018
Y. Moulane, E. Jehin, J. Manfroid +10
Hyperactive comets are a small group of comets whose activity are higher than expected. They seem to emit more water than they should based on the size of their nucleus and comet 4…
Dissociative Excitation of Nitromethane Induced by Electron Impact in the Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrum
Juraj Országh, Anita Ribar, Marián Danko +3
The excitation of nitromethane CHNO, which is an important propellant and prototypic molecule for large class of explosives, has been investigated by electron impact and su…
Line Emission Mapper (LEM): Probing the physics of cosmic ecosystems
Ralph Kraft, Maxim Markevitch, Caroline Kilbourne +107
The Line Emission Mapper (LEM) is an X-ray Probe for the 2030s that will answer the outstanding questions of the Universe's structure formation. It will also provide transformative…
