Coma Volatile Composition and Thermal Physics in Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) Measured Near Closest Approach to Earth with NASA-IRTF
Nathan X. Roth, Michael A. DiSanti, Boncho P. Bonev +9
The 2023 perihelion passage of comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) afforded an opportunity to measure the abundances and spatial distributions of coma volatiles in an Oort cloud comet at high sp…
The interstellar heritage of comets
Karen Willacy, Liton Majumdar, Boncho Bonev +5
Comets have similar compositions to interstellar medium ices, suggesting at least some of their molecules maybe inherited from an earlier stage of evolution. To investigate the deg…
A D/H Ratio Consistent with Earth's Water in Halley-type Comet 12P from ALMA HDO Mapping
M. A. Cordiner, E. L. Gibb, Z. Kisiel +18
Isotopic measurements of Solar System bodies provide a primary paradigm within which to understand the origins and histories of planetary materials. The D/H ratio in particular, he…
Infrared Compositional Measurements in Comet C/2017 K2 (Pan-STARRS) at Heliocentric Distances Beyond 2.3 AU
Chemeda Ejeta, Erika Gibb, Michael A. DiSanti +11
Comet C/2017 K2 (Pan-STARRS) provided a rare opportunity to investigate the evolution of coma composition and outgassing patterns over a transitional heliocentric distance (Rh) ran…
Comets in context: Comparing comet compositions with protosolar nebula models
Karen Willacy, Neal Turner, Boncho Bonev +5
Comets provide a valuable window into the chemical and physical conditions at the time of their formation in the young solar system. We seek insights into where and when these obje…
Rapidly Varying Anisotropic Methanol (CHOH) Production in the Inner Coma of Comet 46P/Wirtanen as Revealed by the ALMA Atacama Compact Array
Nathan X. Roth, Stefanie N. Milam, Martin A. Cordiner +13
We report the detection of CHOH emission in comet 46P/Wirtanen on UT 2018 December 8 and 9 using the Atacama Compact Array (ACA), part of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillim…
