IFU Observations of Comet 3I/ATLAS = C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope with the VIRUS Instrument

Anita Cochran, Gregory Zeimann, Emmanuel Jehin +2

We observed interstellar object 3I/ATLAS = C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) on 9 December 2025 UT with the VIRUS spectrograph on the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. VIRUS is a low spectral resolving powe…

Opposition effect of comet 28P/Neujmin observed with Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam

Takafumi Ootsubo, Hideyo Kawakita, Tadafumi Takata +8

We present an observational study of the nucleus of comet 28P/Neujmin at a heliocentric distance exceeding 10 au, where coma contamination is effectively minimized. Observations we…

A post-perihelion constraint on the CO/HO ratio of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS from [O I] forbidden lines

Yoshiharu Shinnaka, Ko Tsujimoto, Hideyo Kawakita +3

We present high-resolution optical spectroscopy of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1) obtained with the High Dispersion Spectrograph mounted on the Subaru Telescope on UT 2026…

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…

Considerations on the process of target selection for the Comet Interceptor mission

C. Snodgrass, E. Mazzotta Epifani, C. Tubiana +27

Comet Interceptor is an ESA science mission with payload contributions from ESA Member States and with an international participation by JAXA. It is the first mission that is being…

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…
