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…
Lucy Mission to the Trojan Asteroids: Instrumentation and Encounter Concept of Operations
Catherine B. Olkin, Harold F. Levison, Michael Vincent +19
The Lucy Mission accomplishes its science during a series of five flyby encounters with seven Trojan asteroid targets. This mission architecture drives a concept of operations desi…
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…
Initial results from the New Horizons exploration of 2014 MU69, a small Kuiper Belt Object
S. A. Stern, H. A. Weaver, J. R. Spencer +202
The Kuiper Belt is a distant region of the Solar System. On 1 January 2019, the New Horizons spacecraft flew close to (486958) 2014 MU69, a Cold Classical Kuiper Belt Object, a cla…
The Geology and Geophysics of Kuiper Belt Object (486958) Arrokoth
J. R. Spencer, S. A. Stern, J. M. Moore +75
The Cold Classical Kuiper Belt, a class of small bodies in undisturbed orbits beyond Neptune, are primitive objects preserving information about Solar System formation. The New Hor…
Color, Composition, and Thermal Environment of Kuiper Belt Object (486958) Arrokoth
W. M. Grundy, M. K. Bird, D. T. Britt +46
The outer Solar System object (486958) Arrokoth (provisional designation 2014 MU) has been largely undisturbed since its formation. We study its surface composition using da…
