We review the current state of knowledge of the long-term evolution of the small bodies that give rise to comets and exocomets, as well as their reservoirs. The active cometary pha…
Contemporaneous Optical and Near-Infrared Observations of the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Pre- and Post-Perihelion
Kyle Medler, Willem B. Hoogendam, Christopher Ashall +12
Interstellar objects provide a unique view into the formation of other star systems. Here we present spectroscopic observations of the recently discovered interstellar object 3I/AT…

Juncen Li, Xian Shi, Jianchun Shi +7
{The multiple outburst events of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks during its 2024 apparition offer a unique window into highly-active volatile releasing processes not observable during quiesc…
Optical and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of the Outbursting Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks
Ruining Zhao, Bin Yang, Michael S. P. Kelley +4
We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the outbursting, Halley-type comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. Three NIR spectra were obtained during two outbursts in October and N…
