Pre-discovery Activity of New Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov Beyond 5 AU
Quanzhi Ye, Michael S. P. Kelley, Bryce T. Bolin +15
Comet 2I/Borisov, the first unambiguous interstellar comet ever found, was discovered in August 2019 at au from the Sun on its inbound leg. No pre-discovery detection beyon…
2I/Borisov: A C depleted interstellar comet
C. Opitom, A. Fitzsimmons, E. Jehin +9
The discovery of the first active interstellar object 2I/Borisov provides an unprecedented opportunity to study planetary formation processes in another planetary system. In partic…
Detection of CN gas in Interstellar Object 2I/Borisov
Alan Fitzsimmons, Olivier Hainaut, Karen Meech +8
The detection of Interstellar Objects passing through the Solar System offers the promise of constraining the physical and chemical processes involved in planetary formation in oth…
Yarkovsky effect detection and updated impact hazard assessment for Near-Earth Asteroid (410777) 2009 FD
Alessio Del Vigna, Javier Roa, Davide Farnocchia +5
Near-Earth asteroid (410777) 2009 FD is a potentially hazardous asteroid with potential impacts on Earth at the end of the 22nd century. The astrometry collected during the 2019 ap…
Disintegration of Active Asteroid P/2016 G1 (PANSTARRS)
Olivier R. Hainaut, Jan T. Kleyna, Karen J. Meech +7
We report on the catastrophic disintegration of P/2016 G1 (PANSTARRS), an active asteroid, in April 2016. Deep images over three months show that object is constituted by a central…
Maximizing LSST Solar System Science: Approaches, Software Tools, and Infrastructure Needs
Henry H. Hsieh, Michele T. Bannister, Bryce T. Bolin +12
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is expected to increase known small solar system object populations by an order of magnitude or more over the next decade, enabling a bro…
The Sporadic Activity of (6478) Gault: A YORP-driven event?
Jan T. Kleyna, Olivier R. Hainaut, Karen J. Meech +15
On 2019 January 5 a streamer associated with the 4--10 km main-belt asteroid (6478)~Gault was detected by the ATLAS sky survey, a rare discovery of activity around a main-belt aste…
A systematic ranging technique for follow-ups of NEOs detected with the Flyeye telescope
Michael Frühauf, Marco Micheli, Toni Santana-Ros +3
When new objects are detected in the sky, an orbit determination needs to be performed immediately to find out their origin, to determine the probability of an Earth impact and pos…
C/2010 U3 (Boattini): A Bizarre Comet Active at Record Heliocentric Distance
Man-To Hui, Davide Farnocchia, Marco Micheli
We present a photometric and dynamical study of comet C/2010 U3 (Boattini), which was seen active in prediscovery data as early as 2005 November at a new inbound record heliocentri…
