A physico-chemical model to study the ion densitydistribution in the inner coma of comet C/2016 R2(Pan-STARRS)
Susarla Raghuram, Anil Bhardwaj, Damien Hutsemékers +3
The recent observations show that comet C/2016 R2 (Pan-Starrs) has a unique and peculiar composition when compared with several other comets observed at 2.8 au heliocentric distanc…
MUSE observations of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko: A reference for future comet observations with MUSE
C. Opitom, A. Guilbert-Lepoutre, S. Besse +2
Observations of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were performed with MUSE at large heliocentric distances post-perihelion, between March 3 and 7, 2016. Those observations were part…
Exocomets from a Solar System Perspective
Paul A. Strøm, Dennis Bodewits, Matthew M. Knight +24
Exocomets are small bodies releasing gas and dust which orbit stars other than the Sun. Their existence was first inferred from the detection of variable absorption features in ste…
Photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy of comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner during its 2018 apparition
Y. Moulane, E. Jehin, P. Rousselot +7
We report on photometry and high resolution spectroscopy of the chemically peculiar Jupiter-family Comet (hereafter JFC) 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. Comet 21P is a well known member of t…
Interstellar comet 2I/Borisov as seen by MUSE: C, NH and red CN detections
Michele T. Bannister, Cyrielle Opitom, Alan Fitzsimmons +11
We report the clear detection of C and of abundant NH in the first prominently active interstellar comet, 2I/Borisov. We observed 2I on three nights in November 2019 at opt…
Atomic carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen forbidden emission lines in the water-poor comet C/2016 R2 (Pan-STARRS)
S. Raghuram, D. Hutsemékers, C. Opitom +3
The N and CO-rich and water-depleted comet C/2016 R2 (Pan-STARRS) (hereafter `C/2016 R2') is a unique comet for detailed spectroscopic analysis. We aim to explore the associate…
