Observations of High Galactic Latitude Line and Continuum Emission (912 - 1600 Ã ) with New Horizons
Jayant Murthy, James Overduin, Seth Redfield +5
We present observations of the cosmic ultraviolet background (CUVB) from 912 - 1600 A using the Stem aperture of the Alice spectrograph on the New Horizons spacecraft at 56 AU from…
The Shape of (486958) Arrokoth
Simon B. Porter, Kelsi N. Singer, Paul M. Schenk +6
Here we present an updated shape model of (486958) Arrokoth, the bilobate Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) which the NASA New Horizons spacecraft flew past in 2019. This updated shape mode…
A Demonstration of Interstellar Navigation Using New Horizons
Tod R. Lauer, David H. Munro, John R. Spencer +51
As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft exits the Solar System bound for interstellar space, it has traveled so far that the nearest stars have shifted markedly from their positions seen…
The Lyman alpha Sky as Observed by New Horizons
G. R. Gladstone, J. M. Shull, W. R. Pryor +22
During September 2023 the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft was used to map diffuse Lyman alpha (Lya) emission over most of the sky, at a range of…
High-Resolution Observations of Pickup Ion Mediated Shocks to 60 au
Bishwas L. Shrestha, David J. McComas, Eric J. Zirnstein +10
This study provides a detailed analysis of fourteen distant interplanetary shocks observed by the Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument onboard New Horizons. These shocks were…
An Extremely Deep Rubin Survey to Explore the Extended Kuiper Belt and Identify Objects Observable by New Horizons
JJ Kavelaars, Marc W. Buie, Wesley C. Fraser +22
A proposed Vera C. Rubin Observatory Deep Drilling micro-survey of the Kuiper Belt will investigate key properties of the distant solar system. Utilizing 30 hours of Rubin time acr…
