The Case for Non-Cryogenic Comet Nucleus Sample Return
Keiko Nakamura-Messenger, Alexander G. Hayes, Scott Sandford +22
Comets hold answers to mysteries of the Solar System by recording presolar history, the initial states of planet formation and prebiotic organics and volatiles to the early Earth.…
Unusually High CO Abundance of the First Active Interstellar Comet
M. A. Cordiner, S. N. Milam, N. Biver +12
Comets spend most of their lives at large distances from any star, during which time their interior compositions remain relatively unaltered. Cometary observations can therefore pr…
Strong variability of Martian water ice clouds during dust storms revealed from ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter/NOMAD
Giuliano Liuzzi, Geronimo L. Villanueva, Matteo M. J. Crismani +12
Observations of water ice clouds and aerosols on Mars can provide important insights into the complexity of the water cycle. Recent observations have indicated an important link be…
ALMA Autocorrelation Spectroscopy of Comets: The HCN/H^13CN ratio in C/2012 S1 (ISON)
M. A. Cordiner, M. Y. Palmer, M. de Val-Borro +11
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a powerful tool for high-resolution mapping of comets, but the main interferometer (comprised of 50x12-m antennas) is ins…
Methane on Mars: New insights into the sensitivity of CH4 with the NOMAD/ExoMars spectrometer through its first in-flight calibration
Giuliano Liuzzi, Geronimo L. Villanueva, Michael J. Mumma +9
The Nadir and Occultation for MArs Discovery instrument (NOMAD), onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) spacecraft was conceived to observe Mars in solar occultation, nadir, a…
Mapping Vinyl Cyanide and Other Nitriles in Titan's Atmosphere Using ALMA
J. C. -Y. Lai, M. A. Cordiner, C. A. Nixon +9
Vinyl cyanide (CHCN) is theorized to form in Titan's atmosphere via high-altitude photochemistry and is of interest regarding the astrobiology of cold planetary surfaces du…
