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…
2I/Borisov: A C depleted interstellar comet
C. Opitom, A. Fitzsimmons, E. Jehin +9
The discovery of the first active interstellar object 2I/Borisov provides an unprecedented opportunity to study planetary formation processes in another planetary system. In partic…
Detection of CN gas in Interstellar Object 2I/Borisov
Alan Fitzsimmons, Olivier Hainaut, Karen Meech +8
The detection of Interstellar Objects passing through the Solar System offers the promise of constraining the physical and chemical processes involved in planetary formation in oth…
Pluto's lower atmosphere and pressure evolution from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988-2016
E. Meza, B. Sicardy, M. Assafin +167
Context. Pluto's tenuous nitrogen (N2) atmosphere undergoes strong seasonal effects due to high obliquity and orbital eccentricity, and has been recently (July 2015) observed by th…
High resolution optical spectroscopy of the -rich comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)
C. Opitom, D. Hutsemékers, E. Jehin +6
Early observations of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) have shown that the composition of this comet is very peculiar. We obtained high resolution spectra of the comet in February when…
The perihelion activity of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as seen by robotic telescopes
Colin Snodgrass, Cyrielle Opitom, Miguel de Val-Borro +13
Around the time of its perihelion passage the observability of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from Earth was limited to very short windows each morning from any given site, due to the l…
