A Contact Binary Satellite of the Asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh
Harold F. Levison, Simone Marchi, Keith S. Noll +3
Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques, YORP, to be a notable factor in their evolution. (152830)…
The Properties and Origins of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth's Large Mounds
S. A. Stern, O. L. White, Wm. Grundy +10
We report on a study of the mounds that dominate the appearance of Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) (486958) Arrokoth's larger lobe, named Wenu. We compare the geological context of these…
New Investigations of Dark Floored Pits in the Volatile Ice of Sputnik Planitia on Pluto
S. Alan Stern, Brian Keeney, Rachael Hoover +5
Sputnik Planitia, Pluto's gigantic ice glacier, hosts numerous scientific mysteries, including the presence of thousands of elongated pit structures. We examine various attributes…
On Charon's Far-Ultraviolet Surface Reflectance
Brian A. Keeney, Joel Wm. Parker, Nathaniel Cunningham +3
We present the first measurements of Charon's far-ultraviolet surface reflectance, obtained by the Alice spectrograph on New Horizons. We find no measurable flux shortward of 1650…
Spatial Distribution of Ultraviolet Emission from Cometary Activity at 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
John W. Noonan, Dominique Bockelée-Morvan, Paul D. Feldman +16
The Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on board the \textit{Rosetta} orbiter provided the first near-nucleus ultraviolet observations of a cometary coma from arrival at comet 67P/Chury…
Analysis of Hybrid Gas-Dust Outbursts Observed at 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
John W. Noonan, Giovanna Rinaldi, Paul D. Feldman +14
Cometary outbursts offer a valuable window into the composition of comet nuclei with their forceful ejection of dust and volatiles in explosive events, revealing the interior compo…
