A Targeted Search for Main Belt Comets
Léa Ferellec, Colin Snodgrass, Alan Fitzsimmons +6
Main Belt Comets (MBCs) exhibit sublimation-driven activity while occupying asteroid-like orbits in the Main Asteroid Belt. MBCs and candidates show stronger clustering of their lo…
The CUBES Science Case
Chris Evans, Stefano Cristiani, Cyrielle Opitom +51
We introduce the scientific motivations for the development of the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) that is now in construction for the Very Large Telescope. The as…
Water, hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, and dust production from distant comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1
D. Bockelée-Morvan, N. Biver, C. A. Schambeau +13
29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 is a distant Centaur/comet, showing persistent CO-driven activity and frequent outbursts. We used the Herschel space observatory in 2010, 2011, and 2013…
Cometary science with CUBES
Cyrielle Opitom, Colin Snodgrass, Fiorangela La Forgia +6
The proposed CUBES spectrograph for ESO's Very Large Telescope will be an exceptionally powerful instrument for the study of comets. The gas coma of a comet contains a large number…
