JWST near-infrared spectroscopy of the Lucy Jupiter Trojan flyby targets: Evidence for OH absorption, aliphatic organics, and CO
Ian Wong, Michael E. Brown, Joshua P. Emery +6
We present observations obtained with the Near Infrared Spectrograph on JWST of the five Jupiter Trojans that will be visited by the Lucy spacecraft -- the Patroclus-Menoetius bina…
Detection of Rotational Acceleration of Bennu using HST Lightcurve Observations
Michael C. Nolan, Ellen S. Howell, Daniel J. Scheeres +7
We observed the near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu from the ground in 1999 and 2005, and with the Hubble Space Telescope in 2012, to constrain its rotation rate. The data reveal an…
Rotationally resolved spectroscopy of (20000) Varuna in the near-infrared
V. Lorenzi, N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro +2
Models of the escape and retention of volatiles by minor icy objects exclude any presence of volatile ices on the surface of TNOs smaller than ~1000km in diameter at the typical te…
The Origin of (90) Antiope From Component-Resolved Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Franck Marchis, J. Emilio Enriquez, Joshua P. Emery +3
The origin of the similary-sized binary asteroid (90) Antiope remains an unsolved puzzle. To constrain the origin of this unique double system, we recorded individual spectra of th…
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of Trojan Asteroids: Evidence for Two Compositional Groups
Joshua P. Emery, Devon M. Burr, Dale P. Cruikshank
The Trojan asteroids remain quite poorly understood, yet their physical properties provide unique perspective on chemical and dynamical processes that shaped the Solar System. The…
Triplicity and Physical Characteristics of Asteroid (216) Kleopatra
Pascal Descamps, F. Marchis, J. Berthier +16
To take full advantage of the September 2008 opposition passage of the M-type asteroid (216) Kleopatra, we have used near-infrared adaptive optics (AO) imaging with the W.M. Keck I…
The Albedo, Size, and Density of Binary Kuiper Belt Object (47171) 1999 TC36
J. A. Stansberry, W. M. Grundy, J. L. Margot +4
We measured the system-integrated thermal emission of the binary Kuiper Belt Object 1999 TC36 at wavelengths near 24 and 70 microns using the Spitzer space telescope. We fit these…
