Disrupted asteroid P/2016 G1. II. Follow-up observations from the Hubble Space Telescope
F. Moreno, J. Licandro, M. Mutchler +3
After the early observations of the disrupted asteroid P/2016 G1 with the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), and the modeling of the dust ejecta, we have performed a follow-up o…
The Castalia Mission to Main Belt Comet 133P/Elst-Pizarro
C. Snodgrass, G. H. Jones, H. Boehnhardt +41
We describe Castalia, a proposed mission to rendezvous with a Main Belt Comet (MBC), 133P/Elst-Pizarro. MBCs are a recently discovered population of apparently icy bodies within th…
Modeling of the outburst on July 29th, 2015 observed with OSIRIS cameras in the southern hemisphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
A. Gicquel, M. Rose, J. -B. Vincent +60
Images of the nucleus and the coma (gas and dust) of comet 67P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko have been acquired by the OSIRIS (Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System)…
The 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observation campaign in support of the Rosetta mission
C. Snodgrass, M. F. A'Hearn, F. Aceituno +112
We present a summary of the campaign of remote observations that supported the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across the globe (and in space) followed comet 67…
Physical and dynamical properties of the anomalous comet 249P/LINEAR
Julio A. Fernández, Javier Licandro, Fernando Moreno +4
Images and low-resolution spectra of the near-Earth Jupiter family comet (JFC) 249P/LINEAR in the visible range obtained with the instrument OSIRIS in the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Can…
The splitting of double-component active asteroid P/2016 J1 (PANSTARRS)
Fernando Moreno, Francisco Pozuelos, Bojan Novakovic +20
We present deep imaging observations, orbital dynamics, and dust tail model analyses of the double-component asteroid P/2016 J1 (J1-A and J1-B). The observations were acquired at t…
