Comet Interceptor is an ESA F-class mission expected to launch in 2028 on the same launcher as ESA's ARIEL mission. Comet Interceptor's science payload consists of three spacecraft…
Interstellar comet 2I/Borisov as seen by MUSE: C, NH and red CN detections
Michele T. Bannister, Cyrielle Opitom, Alan Fitzsimmons +11
We report the clear detection of C and of abundant NH in the first prominently active interstellar comet, 2I/Borisov. We observed 2I on three nights in November 2019 at opt…
Parker Solar Probe Observations of a Dust Trail in the Orbit of (3200) Phaethon
Karl Battams, Matthew M. Knight, Michael S. P. Kelley +3
We present the identification and preliminary analysis of a dust trail following the orbit of (3200) Phaethon as seen in white light images recorded by the Wide-field Imager for Pa…
Upper Limits for Emissions in the Coma of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Near Perihelion as Measured by Rosetta's Alice Far-Ultraviolet Spectrograph
B. A. Keeney, S. A. Stern, R. J. Vervack +13
The Alice far-UV imaging spectrograph (700-2050 A) acquired over 70,000 spectral images during Rosetta's 2-year escort mission, including over 20,000 in the months surrounding peri…
New Insights into Interstellar Object 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua) from SOHO/STEREO Nondetections
Man-To Hui, Matthew M. Knight
Object 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua) is the first interstellar small body ever discovered in the solar system. By the time of discovery, it had already passed perihelion. To investigate t…
Properties of the Bare Nucleus of Comet 96P/Machholz 1
Nora L. Eisner, Matthew M. Knight, Colin Snodgrass +3
We observed comet 96P/Machholz 1 on a total of 9 nights before and after perihelion during its 2017/2018 apparition. Both its unusually small perihelion distance and the observed f…
