Combined Orbital and Thermal Evolution of Oort Cloud Comets
Adam Parhi, Dina Prialnik
We present a fully integrated model of comet evolution that couples thermal and compositional processes with dynamical processes continuously, from formation to present-day activit…
A 9-Month Hubble Space Telescope Near-UV Survey of M87. I. Light and Color Curves of 94 Novae, and a Re-determination of the Nova Rate
Michael M. Shara, Alec M. Lessing, Rebekah Hounsell +10
M87 has been monitored with a cadence of 5 days over a 9 month-long span through the near-ultraviolet (NUV:F275W) and optical (F606W) filters of the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) of t…
Sublimation of ices during the early evolution of Kuiper belt objects
Adam Parhi, Dina Prialnik
Kuiper belt objects, such as Arrokoth, the probable progenitors of short-period comets, formed and evolved at large heliocentric distances, where the ambient temperatures appear to…
About the loss of a primordial atmosphere of super-Earths by planetesimal impacts
Michael Lozovsky, Dina Prialnik, Morris Podolak
We consider planets composed of water ice and rock, located far from a central star. In an earlier study, computing the growth of planets by continuous accretion, we found that a l…
29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann: A Rosetta Stone for Amorphous Water Ice and CO <-> CO2 Conversion in Centaurs and Comets?
C. M. Lisse, J. K. Steckloff, D. Prialnik +12
Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (SW1) is a highly active object orbiting in the transitional Gateway region (Sarid et al. 2019) between the Centaur and Jupiter Family Comet regi…
Amorphous ice in comets: evidence and consequences
Dina Prialnik, David Jewitt
Ice naturally forms in the disordered or ``amorphous'' state when accreted from vapor at temperatures and pressures found in the interstellar medium and in the frigid, low density…
