NEOWISE Observations of Distant Active Long-period Comets C/2014 B1 (Schwartz), C/2017 K2 (Pan-STARRS), and C/2010 U3 (Boattini)
Dave G. Milewski, Joseph R. Masiero, Jana Pittichova +3
Hyperactive comet activity typically becomes evident beyond the frost line (3 to 4 au) where it becomes too cold for water-ice to sublimate. If carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon diox…
Observed asteroid surface area in the thermal infrared
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Masiero +5
The rapid accumulation of thermal infrared observations and shape models of asteroids has led to increased interest in thermophysical modeling. Most of these infrared observations…
NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Year Two: Asteroid Diameters and Albedos
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Bauer +6
The Near-Earth Object Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) mission continues to detect, track, and characterize minor planets. We present diameters and albedos calculated…
Lingering grains of truth around comet 17P/Holmes
R. Stevenson, J. M. Bauer, E. A. Kramer +3
Comet 17P/Holmes underwent a massive outburst in 2007 Oct., brightening by a factor of almost a million in under 48 hours. We used infrared images taken by the Wide-Field Survey Ex…
A Dynamical Analysis of the Dust Tail of Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) at High Heliocentric Distances
Emily A. Kramer, Yanga R. Fernandez, Carey M. Lisse +2
Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) has provided an unprecedented opportunity to observe a bright comet over a wide range of heliocentric distances. We present here Spitzer Space Telescope…
