A Predicted Dearth of Majority Hypervolatile Ices in Oort Cloud Comets

C. M. Lisse, G. R. Gladstone, L. A. Young +30

We present new, ice species-specific New Horizons/Alice upper gas coma production limits from the 01 Jan 2019 MU69/Arrokoth flyby of Gladstone et al. (2021) and use them to make pr…

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…

PSP/ISIS Observation of a Solar Energetic Particle Event Associated With a Streamer Blowout Coronal Mass Ejection During Encounter 6

T. Getachew, D. J. McComas, C. J. Joyce +21

In this paper we examine a low-energy SEP event observed by ISIS's Energetic Particle Instrument-Low (EPI-Lo) inside 0.18 AU on September 30, 2020. This small SEP event has…

Suprathermal Ion Energy spectra and Anisotropies near the Heliospheric Current Sheet crossing observed by the Parker Solar Probe during Encounter 7

M. I. Desai, D. G. Mitchell, D. J. McComas +31

We present observations of >10-100 keV/nucleon suprathermal (ST) H, He, O, and Fe ions associated with crossings of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) at radial distances <0.1 au…

Parker Solar Probe Observations of Helical Structures as Boundaries for Energetic Particles

F. Pecora, S. Servidio, A. Greco +15

Energetic particle transport in the interplanetary medium is known to be affected by magnetic structures. It has been demonstrated for solar energetic particles in near-Earth orbit…

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…
