The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
Observations of the new meteor shower from comet 46P/Wirtanen
D. Vida, J. M. Scott, A. Egal +5
A new meteor shower -Sculptorids produced by the comet 46P/Wirtanen was forecast for December 12, 2023. The predicted activity was highly uncertain, but generally considered to…
Sodium Brightening of (3200) Phaethon Near Perihelion
Qicheng Zhang, Karl Battams, Quanzhi Ye +2
Sunskirting asteroid (3200) Phaethon has been repeatedly observed in STEREO HI1 imagery to anomalously brighten and produce an antisunward tail for a few days near each perihelion…
Tuning the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Observing Strategy for Solar System Science
Megan E. Schwamb, R. Lynne Jones, Peter Yoachim +27
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to start the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) in early to mid-2025. This multi-band wide-field synoptic survey will transform our vi…
Comet P/2021 HS (PANSTARRS) and the Challenge of Detecting Low-Activity Comets
Quanzhi Ye, Michael S. P. Kelley, James M. Bauer +8
Jupiter-family comet (JFC) P/2021 HS (PANSTARRS) only exhibits a coma within a few weeks of its perihelion passage at 0.8~au, which is atypical for a comet. Here we present an inve…
Observational Characterization of Main-Belt Comet and Candidate Main-Belt Comet Nuclei
Henry H. Hsieh, Marco Micheli, Michael S. P. Kelley +9
We report observations of nine MBCs or candidate MBCs, most of which were obtained when the targets were apparently inactive. We find effective nucleus radii (assuming albedos of p…
