The Peculiar Volatile Composition of Comet 8P/Tuttle: A Contact Binary of Chemically Distinct Cometesimals?
B. P. Bonev, M. J. Mumma, Y. L. Radeva +3
We report measurements of eight native (i.e., released directly from the comet nucleus) volatiles (H2O, HCN, CH4, C2H2, C2H6, CO, H2CO, and CH3OH) in comet 8P/Tuttle using NIRSPEC…
Post-Outburst Observations of V1647 Ori: Detection of a Brief Warm, Molecular Outflow
Sean Brittain, Terrence Rettig, Theodore Simon +4
We present new observations of the fundamental ro-vibrational CO spectrum of V1647 Ori, the young star whose recent outburst illuminated McNeil's Nebula. Previous spectra, acquired…
Warm HCN, C2H2, and CO in the disk of GV Tau
E. L. Gibb, K. A. Van Brunt, S. D. Brittain +1
We present the first high-resolution, ground-based observations of HCN and C2H2 toward the T Tauri binary star system GV Tau. We detected strong absorption due to HCN nu_3 and weak…
Dust Stratification in Young Circumstellar Disks
T. Rettig, S. Brittain, Theodore Simon +4
We present high-resolution infrared spectra of four YSOs (T Tau N, T Tau S, RNO 91, and HL Tau). The spectra exhibit narrow absorption lines of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O as well as broa…
