The Dynamical Origins of the Dark Comets and a Proposed Evolutionary Track
Aster G. Taylor, Jordan K. Steckloff, Darryl Z. Seligman +5
So-called 'dark comets' are small, morphologically inactive near-Earth objects (NEOs) that exhibit nongravitational accelerations inconsistent with radiative effects. These objects…
The Equilibrium Vapor Pressures of Ammonia and Oxygen Ices at Outer Solar System Temperatures
B. P. Blakley, Will M. Grundy, Jordan K. Steckloff +8
Few laboratory studies have investigated the vapor pressures of the volatiles that may be present as ices in the outer solar system; even fewer studies have investigated these spec…
Seasonally Varying Outgassing as an Explanation for Dark Comet Accelerations
Aster G. Taylor, Davide Farnocchia, David Vokrouhlicky +3
Significant nonradial, nongravitational accelerations with magnitudes incompatible with radiation-driven effects have been reported in seven small, photometrically inactive near-Ea…
Laboratory Measurement of Volatile Ice Vapor Pressures with a Quartz Crystal Microbalance
W. M. Grundy, S. C. Tegler, J. K. Steckloff +12
Nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane are key materials in the far outer Solar System where their high volatility enables them to sublimate, potentially driving activity at very l…
Successful Kinetic Impact into an Asteroid for Planetary Defense
R. Terik Daly, Carolyn M. Ernst, Olivier S. Barnouin +98
While no known asteroid poses a threat to Earth for at least the next century, the catalog of near-Earth asteroids is incomplete for objects whose impacts would produce regional de…
Ejecta from the DART-produced active asteroid Dimorphos
Jian-Yang Li, Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Tony L. Farnham +61
Some active asteroids have been proposed to be the result of impact events. Because active asteroids are generally discovered serendipitously only after their tail formation, the p…
