A serendipitous all sky survey for bright objects in the outer solar system
M. E. Brown, M. E. Bannister, B. P. Schmidt +9
We use seven year's worth of observations from the Catalina Sky Survey and the Siding Spring Survey covering most of the northern and southern hemisphere at galactic latitudes high…
New Active Asteroid 313P/Gibbs
David Jewitt, Jessica Agarwal, Nuno Peixinho +5
We present initial observations of the newly-discovered active asteroid 313P/Gibbs (formerly P/2014 S4), taken to characterize its nucleus and comet-like activity. The central obje…
Episodic Ejection from Active Asteroid 311P/PANSTARRS
David Jewitt, Jessica Agarwal, Harold Weaver +2
We examine the development of the active asteroid 311P/PANSTARRS (formerly, 2013 P5) in the period from 2013 September to 2014 February using high resolution images from the Hubble…
Discovery of 9,000 new RR Lyrae in the Southern Catalina Surveys
G. Torrealba, M. Catelan, A. J. Drake +8
We present the results of a deep, wide-area variability survey in the Southern hemisphere, the first of its kind. As part of the Catalina Sky Surveys, the Siding Spring Survey (SSS…
Ultra-short Period Binaries from the Catalina Surveys
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, D. Garcia-Alvarez +10
We investigate the properties of 367 ultra-short period binary candidates selected from 31,000 sources recently identified from Catalina Surveys data. Based on light curve morpholo…
Image Enhancement Techniques for Quantitative Investigations of Morphological Features in Cometary Comae: A Comparative Study
Nalin Samarasinha, Stephen Larson
Many cometary coma features are only a few percent above the ambient coma (i.e., the background) and therefore coma enhancement techniques are needed to discern the morphological s…
