Predictions for the Dynamical States of the Didymos System before and after the Planned DART Impact
Derek C. Richardson, Harrison F. Agrusa, Brent Barbee +33
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is planned to impact the natural satellite of (65803) Didymos, Dimorphos, around 23:14 UTC on 26 September 2022, causing a…
Anomalous Flux in the Cosmic Optical Background Detected With New Horizons Observations
Tod R. Lauer, Marc Postman, John R. Spencer +27
We used New Horizons LORRI images to measure the optical-band () sky brightness within a high galactic-latitude field selected to have reduced diffu…
A bimodal distribution of haze in Pluto's atmosphere
Siteng Fan, Peter Gao, Xi Zhang +8
Pluto, Titan, and Triton make up a unique class of solar system bodies, with icy surfaces and chemically reducing atmospheres rich in organic photochemistry and haze formation. Haz…
The Excited Spin State of Dimorphos Resulting from the DART Impact
Harrison F. Agrusa, Ioannis Gkolias, Kleomenis Tsiganis +12
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is a planetary defense-driven test of a kinetic impactor on Dimorphos, the satellite of the binary asteroid 65803 Didymos.…
New Horizons Observations of the Cosmic Optical Background
Tod R. Lauer, Marc Postman, Harold A. Weaver +26
We used existing data from the New Horizons LORRI camera to measure the optical-band () sky brightness within seven high galactic latitude fields. T…
On the Origin and Thermal Stability of Arrokoths and Plutos Ices
C. M. Lisse, L. A. Young, D. P. Cruikshank +30
We discuss in a thermodynamic, geologically empirical way the long-term nature of the stable majority ices that could be present in Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU69 after its 4.6 Gyr r…
