The Excited Spin State of 1I/2017 U1 `Oumuamua
Michael J. S. Belton, Olivier R. Hainaut, Karen J. Meech +15
We show that `Oumuamua's excited spin could be in a high energy LAM state, which implies that its shape could be far from the highly elongated shape found in previous studies. CLEA…
Hyperactivity in 103P/Hartley 2: Chunks from the sub-surface in Type IIa jet regions
Michael Belton
We analyze the observed radial distribution of column densities of water-ice particulates embedded in the primary jet region of 103Ps inner coma at altitudes between 439 and 1967 m…
The Size-distribution of Scattered Disk TNOs from that of JFCs between 0.2 and 15km effective radius
Michael J. S. Belton
We investigate the size-frequency distribution of Jupiter Family comets to determine whether they are primordial accreted objects or collisional fragments. We develop a list of eff…
Spitzer Space Telescope Observations of the Nucleus of Comet 103P/Hartley 2
C. M. Lisse, Y. R. Fernandez, W. T. Reach +7
We have used the Spitzer 22-um peakup array to observe thermal emission from the nucleus and trail of comet 103P/Hartley 2, the target of NASA's Deep Impact Extended mission. The c…
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 during the Deep Impact Encounter
Paul D. Feldman, Stephan R. McCandliss, Matthew Route +4
We report on the Hubble Space Telescope program to observe periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 in conjunction with NASA's Deep Impact mission. Our objectives were to study the generation an…
Carbon Monoxide in Comet 9P/Tempel 1 before and after the Deep Impact Encounter
Paul D. Feldman, Roxana E. Lupu, Stephan R. McCandliss +4
One of the goals of the Hubble Space Telescope program to observe periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 in conjunction with NASA's Deep Impact mission was to study the generation and evolutio…
