Spitzer Observations of Interstellar Object 1I/`Oumuamua
DE Trilling, M Mommert, JL Hora +20
1I/`Oumuamua is the first confirmed interstellar body in our Solar System. Here we report on observations of `Oumuamua made with the Spitzer Space Telescope on 2017 November 21--22…
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…
Plausible home stars of the interstellar object 'Oumuamua found in Gaia DR2
C. A. L. Bailer-Jones, D. Farnocchia, K. J. Meech +5
The first detected interstellar object 'Oumuamua that passed within 0.25au of the Sun on 2017 September 9 was presumably ejected from a stellar system. We use its newly determined…
Photometric survey of 67 near-Earth objects
S. Ieva, E. Dotto, E. Mazzotta Epifani +9
The near-Earth object (NEO) population is a window into the original conditions of the protosolar nebula, and has the potential to provide a key pathway for the delivery of water a…
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…
The Excited Spin State of 1I/2017 U1 `Oumuamua
Michael J. S. Belton, Olivier R. Hainaut, Karen J. Meech +15
We show that `Oumuamua's excited spin could be in a high energy LAM state, which implies that its shape could be far from the highly elongated shape found in previous studies. CLEA…
