2I/Borisov: A C depleted interstellar comet
C. Opitom, A. Fitzsimmons, E. Jehin +9
The discovery of the first active interstellar object 2I/Borisov provides an unprecedented opportunity to study planetary formation processes in another planetary system. In partic…
Detection of CN gas in Interstellar Object 2I/Borisov
Alan Fitzsimmons, Olivier Hainaut, Karen Meech +8
The detection of Interstellar Objects passing through the Solar System offers the promise of constraining the physical and chemical processes involved in planetary formation in oth…
Comet 66P/du Toit: not a near Earth main belt comet
B. Yang, E. Jehin, F. J. Pozuelos +6
Main belt comets (MBCs) are a peculiar class of volatile-containing objects with comet-like morphology and asteroid-like orbits. However, MBCs are challenging targets to study remo…
The trans-Neptunian object (84922) 2003 VS2 through stellar occultations
Gustavo Benedetti-Rossi, P. Santos-Sanz, J. L. Ortiz +50
We present results from three world-wide campaigns that resulted in the detections of two single-chord and one multi-chord stellar occultations by the Plutino object (84922) 2003~V…
Pluto's lower atmosphere and pressure evolution from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988-2016
E. Meza, B. Sicardy, M. Assafin +167
Context. Pluto's tenuous nitrogen (N2) atmosphere undergoes strong seasonal effects due to high obliquity and orbital eccentricity, and has been recently (July 2015) observed by th…
High resolution optical spectroscopy of the -rich comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)
C. Opitom, D. Hutsemékers, E. Jehin +6
Early observations of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) have shown that the composition of this comet is very peculiar. We obtained high resolution spectra of the comet in February when…
