Solar Wind Proton Implantation and Hydrogen Diffusion: Model Comparisons to M3 Observations
O. J. Tucker, W. M. Farrell, S. Li +3
The Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) observed a widespread 3-micron absorption feature on the lunar surface, commonly attributed to surficial OH and/or H2O. The feature varies with lati…
A Measurement of the Cosmic Optical Background and Diffuse Galactic Light Scaling from the R < 50 AU New Horizons-LORRI Data
Teresa Symons, Michael Zemcov, Asantha Cooray +2
Direct photometric measurements of the cosmic optical background (COB) provide an important point of comparison to both other measurement methodologies and models of cosmic structu…
Feasibility of characterizing subsurface brines on Ceres by electromagnetic sounding
Robert Grimm, Julie Castillo-Rogez, Carol Raymond +1
The ice-rich dwarf planet Ceres is the largest object in the main asteroid belt and is thought to have a brine or mud layer at a depth of tens of kilometers. Furthermore, recent su…
On the Effect of Magnetospheric Shielding on the Lunar Hydrogen Cycle
Orenthal J. Tucker, William M. Farrell, Andrew R. Poppe
We examine how water is produced globally over the lunar surface as it orbits in/out of the magnetotail. Due to the interaction of the solar wind (SW) with Earth's magnetic field,…
New Horizons Observations of the Cosmic Optical Background
Tod R. Lauer, Marc Postman, Harold A. Weaver +26
We used existing data from the New Horizons LORRI camera to measure the optical-band () sky brightness within seven high galactic latitude fields. T…
Opportunities for Astrophysical Science from the Inner and Outer Solar System
Michael Zemcov, Iair Arcavi, Richard G. Arendt +22
Astrophysical measurements away from the 1 AU orbit of Earth can enable several astrophysical science cases that are challenging or impossible to perform from Earthbound platforms,…
Astrophysics with New Horizons: Making the Most of a Generational Opportunity
Michael Zemcov, Iair Arcavi, Richard Arendt +12
The outer solar system provides a unique, quiet vantage point from which to observe the universe around us, where measurements could enable several niche astrophysical science case…
Dust Ablation on the Giant Planets: Consequences for Stratospheric Photochemistry
Julianne I. Moses, Andrew R. Poppe
Ablation of interplanetary dust supplies oxygen to the upper atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Using recent dynamical model predictions for the dust influx rates…
Measurement of the Cosmic Optical Background using the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager on New Horizons
Michael Zemcov, Poppy Immel, Chi Nguyen +3
The cosmic optical background is an important observable that constrains energy production in stars and more exotic physical processes in the universe, and provides a crucial cosmo…
Plutos interaction with its space environment: Solar Wind, Energetic Particles & Dust
F. Bagenal, M. Horányi, D. J. McComas +23
The New Horizons spacecraft carried three instruments that measured the space environment near Pluto as it flew by on 14 July 2015. The Solar Wind Around Pluto instrument revealed…
