Semi-major Axis Jumps as the Activity Trigger in Centaurs and High-Perihelion Jupiter Family Comets

Eva Lilly, Peter Jevčák, Charles Schambeau +7

We present a dynamical study of 39 active Centaurs and 17 high-perihelion (q4.5 au) JFCs with a focus on investigating recent orbital changes as potential triggers for comet-lik…

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…

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…

Modeling the formation of Selk impact crater on Titan: Implications for Dragonfly

Shigeru Wakita, Brandon C. Johnson, Jason M. Soderblom +3

Selk crater is an 80 km diameter impact crater on the Saturnian icy satellite, Titan. Melt pools associated with impact craters like Selk provide environments where liquid w…
