Evidence of sub-surface energy storage in comet 67P from the outburst of 2016 July 3
J. Agarwal, V. Della Corte, P. D. Feldman +67
On 3 July 2016, several instruments on board ESA's Rosetta spacecraft detected signs of an outburst event on comet 67P, at a heliocentric distance of 3.32 AU from the sun, outbound…
CASTAway: An Asteroid Main Belt Tour and Survey
N. E. Bowles, C. Snodgrass, A Gibbings +42
CASTAway is a mission concept to explore our Solar System's main asteroid belt. Asteroids and comets provide a window into the formation and evolution of our Solar System and the c…
Evidence for the formation of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko through gravitational collapse of a bound clump of pebbles
Jürgen Blum, Bastian Gundlach, Maya Krause +19
The processes that led to the formation of the planetary bodies in the Solar System are still not fully understood. Using the results obtained with the comprehensive suite of instr…
A binary main belt comet
Jessica Agarwal, David Jewitt, Max Mutchler +2
The asteroids are primitive solar system bodies which evolve both collisionally and through disruptions due to rapid rotation [1]. These processes can lead to the formation of bina…
A Comet Active Beyond the Crystallization Zone
David Jewitt, Man-To Hui, Max Mutchler +3
We present observations showing in-bound long-period comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) to be active at record heliocentric distance. Nucleus temperatures are too low (60 K to 70 K) eithe…
The Main Belt Comets and Ice in the Solar System
Colin Snodgrass, Jessica Agarwal, Michael Combi +11
We review the evidence for buried ice in the asteroid belt; specifically the questions around the so-called Main Belt Comets (MBCs). We summarise the evidence for water throughout…
