Prospects for detecting surface color heterogeneity on asteroid surfaces from sparse multiband photometric survey data

Oriel Humes, Jessica Agarwal

Automated sky surveys frequently report sparse-in-time multiband photometric observations of asteroids passing through their fields of view. Photometric data are currently availabl…

Dust Emission and Dynamics

Jessica Agarwal, Yoonyoung Kim, Michael S. P. Kelley +1

When viewed from Earth, most of what we observe of a comet is dust. The influence of solar radiation pressure on the trajectories of dust particles depends on their cross-section t…

Distribution and dynamics of decimeter-sized dust agglomerates in the coma of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

P. Lemos, J. Agarwal, M. Schröter

We present a method to analyze images of the coma of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko obtained using OSIRIS, the main imaging system onboard \textit{Rosetta}, where dust aggregates can be…

Activity distribution of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from combined measurements of non-gravitational forces and torques

Nicholas Attree, Laurent Jorda, Olivier Groussin +5

Aims. Understanding the activity is vital for deciphering the structure, formation, and evolution of comets. We investigate models of cometary activity by comparing them to the dyn…

Disintegration of Long-Period Comet C/2021 A1 (Leonard)

David Jewitt, Yoonyoung Kim, Michael Mattiazzo +3

We present imaging observations of the disintegrating long-period comet C/2021 A1 (Leonard). High resolution observations with Hubble Space Telescope show no evidence for surviving…

Sublimation Origin of Active Asteroid P/2018 P3

Yoonyoung Kim, Jessica Agarwal, David Jewitt +4

Active asteroids show (typically transient) cometary activity, driven by a range of processes. A sub-set, sometimes called main-belt comets, may be driven by sublimation and so cou…
