Near-perihelion activity and composition of 3I/ATLAS from JUICE/MAJIS observations
D. Bockelee-Morvan, F. Poulet, Y. Langevin +16
We present visible-to-infrared (0.5-5.56 microns) observations of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS obtained with the Moons and Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer (MAJIS) aboard the Jupite…
JWST reveals anomalously enhanced methane outgassing from below Chiron's water ice and carbon dioxide bearing surface
Ian Wong, Silvia Protopapa, Aurélie Guilbert-Lepoutre +7
Centaurs are inward-scattered Kuiper belt objects, with some exhibiting comet-like activity. The physical mechanisms powering this activity remain poorly understood, with carbon mo…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40m Telescope and the Science at Stake: from Interstellar Visitors to Planetary Defence
J. de León, N. Pinilla-Alonso, P. Tanga +49
Small Solar system Objects (SSOs) preserve the physical, chemical, and dynamical signatures of the Sun's protoplanetary disk. Upcoming surveys will discover vast numbers of new obj…
Unveiling the ice and gas nature of active centaur (2060) Chiron using the James Webb Space Telescope
N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro, R. Brunetto +15
(2060) Chiron is a large centaur that has been reported active on multiple occasions including during aphelion passage. Studies of Chirons coma during active periods have resulted…
Measurement of D/H and 13C/12C Ratios in Methane Ice on Eris and Makemake: Evidence for Internal Activity
W. M. Grundy, I. Wong, C. R. Glein +11
James Webb Space Telescope's NIRSpec infrared imaging spectrometer observed the outer solar system dwarf planets Eris and Makemake in reflected sunlight at wavelengths spanning 1 t…
A Tale of 3 Dwarf Planets: Ices and Organics on Sedna, Gonggong, and Quaoar from JWST Spectroscopy
J. P. Emery, I. Wong, R. Brunetto +10
We observed Sedna, Gonggong, and Quaoar with the NIRSpec instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). All three bodies were observed in the low-resolution prism mode at wav…
Study of the Surface of 2003 EL61: the largest carbon-depleted object in the trans-neptunian belt
N. Pinilla-ALonso, R. Brunetto, J. Licandro +3
2003 EL61 is the largest member of a group of TNOs with similar orbits and 'unique' spectra (neutral slope in the visible and the deepest water ice absorption bands ever observed i…
