We report the discovery of a comet-like tail on asteroid (3200) Phaethon when imaged at optical wavelengths near perihelion. In both 2009 and 2012, the tail appears >=350" (2.5x10^…
Dynamics of Large Fragments in the Tail of Active Asteroid P/2010 A2
Jessica Agarwal, David Jewitt, Harold Weaver
We examine the motions of large fragments at the head of the dust tail of active asteroid P/2010 A2. In previous work we showed that these fragments were ejected from the primary n…
